Friends of Botswana should win

As the media we will be watching the space as events unfold right to the last minute when the winners will be announced at the July congress. Of course, opposition parties will be going for their own events as well, but the focus of attention will be on the ruling party, which has a few months before parting ways with its leader, President Ian Khama, who leaves it in tatters.

It was under his leadership that the party split for the first time since it was founded in 1962. Khama was the head when the party almost lost the general elections two years ago, and when national dialogue died.
