Fortified Masisi declares war on UDC

Masisi, who is also the country’s Vice-President, was re-elected the party’s chairperson, brushing aside a challenge from Infrastructure and Housing Development Minister, Nonofo Molefhi. Addressing a mini-press conference outside the polling marquee tent immediately after his victory over the weekend, a visibly elated Masisi said he would join forces with Molefhi to ensure the BDP grinds the opposition to the ground in the 2019 general elections.

“We are ready as democrats to wage war against the opposition and beat them thoroughly,” Masisi said, adding that with Molefhi fighting alongside, the party would be stronger and would fire salvos on the opposition. Masisi said the numbers in his election alone, showed the BDP was behind his guidance in pushing for victory in 2019.
