FRANCISTOWN: Political analyst, Adam Mfundisi has urged parties in the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) to urgently resolve their differences. The UDC is a tri-party coalition of the Botswana Congress Party (BCP), Botswana National Front (BNF) and Botswana Peoples Party (BPP).

Mfundisi explained that it is important for parties in the UDC to reconcile in order for them to maintain competitiveness in the country’s political landscape. He was reacting to BCP president Dumelang Saleshando’s press conference which was held this week. Mfundisi is a lecturer in political and administrative studies at the University of Botswana (UB).

“In my humble submission, UDC problems and difficulties have to be dealt with decisively for a sustainable opposition. Competitive politics is a virtue rather than a vice. It is critical for political consolidation. Therefore, the parties that make the UDC must resolve their differences as a matter of urgency,” Mfundisi added.
