Mass exodus of BCP members to BDP in Okavango is wishful thinking

Botswana Congress Party (BCP) members in Okavango and other regions across the country should ignore reports by Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) spinners of yarns that there’s mass exodus of party members to the BDP.

The fabricators allege that over 200 BCP members have defected to the BDP and were welcomed alongside the Okavango MP on Saturday, September 17. These reports are not only misleading and fraudulent, but are a vile propaganda seeking to confuse party members.

The facts are that the BDP welcomed two notable erstwhile BCP activists namely the area MP and his campaign manager and their few relatives. Other five members were either inactive or formerly BDP members returning to their party. We challenge the BDP to publish the names of the 200 alleged defectors with BCP card numbers, their wards and dates of their membership cards and or validity.
