Khama should learn to accept democratic principles

It is because of the simple reason that the party was faced with a moment of great division and managed to settle the dispute with a simple election. Other parties would have broken apart as we have observed in the past. Our country's history is littered with tales of paralysis, violence and splits from a certain political party after disputes. As a ruling party, it is extremely important for the BDP to negotiate its disputes amicably for the sake of the nation. A divided ruling party ultimately paralyses government functions.

That is why the BDP needs to put the elections behind it and forge a united front.
