BDP factional rivalry: Setting the record straight

I am quoted as having advised it to suspend Khama. I am neither an official nor a non-official adviser of Barata-Phathi. Neither has aBarata-Phathi ever sought my opinion on its recent rivalry with its president over the suspension of the newly elected secretary general. That heading wrongly portrayed me as an advisor of Barata-Phathi and this is regretful.

Now that I have been provoked to make an analysis, I will do so. My starting point is the recent BDP Congress. The BDP went to a congress last month (i) to debate policies and make decisions, (ii) to endorse President Khama as the party presidential candidate and (iii) to elect a new central committee. All these activities were carried out successfully.
