Opposition mum on the people's court

The people’s court is a joint effort between the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), the Alliance for Progressives (AP) and the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). It is overseen by AP’s Pius Mokgware. Additionally, eight more members were chosen from the three parties to work with Mokgware to run the affairs of the people’s court.

Late last year, the UDC in collaboration with the AP, announced plans to hold the people’s court where witnesses were to take the stand and present documentary evidence proving vote-rigging by the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the 2019 general elections. The BPF would later join the three parties.
