The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) president, Mokgweetsi Masisi has urged the ruling party members to put differences aside and focus on the party to win election.

Masisi said he was hopeful that his party will win Moshupa-Manyana by-election, which will be held on June 16. Moshupa–Manyana constituency became vacant after Masisi, who has been the area MP since 2009, ascended to presidency of the country. The BDP had five contestants - Benjamin Mogodi, Karabo Gare, Boikhutso Disele, Lentswe Mosanako and Stephen Kganela – in their Saturday primaries. The younger Gare emerged victorious.

“E kgaolo ke ya rona ke a go bolelela. Even if the opposition could work hard on it, but BDP will win it. The constituency has eight wards and seven of them are ours. In 2019, we will win all of them. Remember this was my constituency and I voted in the primaries,” Masisi said in an interview with The Monitor after voting closed at Mosielele Primary School polling station.
