BPF turns one today

On this day last year, Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) was born under the leadership of former Cabinet Assistant Minister and Tati West legislator, Biggie Butale. Former president, Ian Khama later quit the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) after he fell out with President Mokgweetsi Masisi and joined the splinter group and was appointed its patron, barely six months before the October 23, 2019 general elections.

The BPF proved to be a thorn in the flesh of the BDP as it went to win all the three Serowe constituencies. That was history in the making because never had the BDP lost parliamentary constituencies in the heartland of Bamangwato.
