The smart move would have been to select Nehemiah Modubule to be leader of the opposition. He, being an independent MP, would have been best able to listen and mediate between the five BNF members and the BCP which holds the same number of seats.

He has acted as leader before.  He knows the people at the BNF and at the BCP.  His neutrality might have helped to rekindle hope for cooperation between the opposition parties in which he also has a personal interest.  He will probably be more comfortable as a member of the BNF than as an independent.

If push came to shove, the rightists at the BDP would most likely have supported the candidature of the BNF, which is probably why things turned out as they did. Vice president of the BNF, Olebile Gaborone, took the position.
