BCP, BNF snub BMD at Moshupa/Manyana

The by-election, called following the ascendance to president by the former Member of Parliament, Mokgweetsi Masisi two months ago, will be in just over a week’s time on June 16. The Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) member, Jonathan Sethono is the coalition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) representative in the by- election while the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has fielded Karabo Gare.

According to insiders, the two coalition partners; BNF and BCP are not actively involved in the campaign to snatch the constituency from the BDP. The BMD, which is clearly panicking, has revealed that they have written letters to the two coalition partners’ leadership to ask their members, especially those in Moshupa to help in the campaigns but there has not been any positive response from the BCP and BNF.
