UDC Steams Ahead With Unity Talks As BMD Trails Away

When asked to comment last week on the possibility of the BMD being part of the coalition talks in the near future, UDC spokesperson Moeti Mohwasa said at the moment the coalition is only laser focused on consolidating its working relationship with the Alliance for Progressives (AP) and Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF).

“The BPF had written to us proposing that we engage in unity talks as well as cooperating during the by-elections. We accepted their request. As for the AP they had only proposed that we only talk about cooperating at the by-elections. The AP proposal prompted us to write to them requesting that we talk about cooperating beyond the by-elections as well and they also acceded to our request,” he said.
