The BPP is likely to sign by-election agreement - Molapise

The reassurance from the BPP leader is notwithstanding the fact that the party has not attended the majority of recent opposition cooperation talks amid reports that its recently expelled leader, Whyte Marobela, has always been disinclined to work with the other opposition parties, preferring the ruling Botswana Democratic Party instead.
Molapise revealed in a telephone interview that some time last year, Marobela reported to a central committee meeting that he had met with the BDP leadership where his party was offered logistical and financial assistance if they fielded against Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) candidates in the 2014 general elections.

The BPP reportedly found the proposal to work with the BDP against other opposition parties reactionary and rejected it outright. While opposition parties have worked together in the past, albeit with little to show for the effort, no opposition party in Botswana has ever entered into an election alliance with the BDP.
