AP fields all its 12 MP seats :: Mmegi Online

The Alliance for Progressives (AP) has successfully secured representation in all the 12 constituencies assigned to it by the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC). As such, the AP has completed all their primary elections with no pending issues. With only a few months remaining before the general election, the AP has begun its campaign efforts in earnest. Only the AP president, who is also the UDC vice president, has been officially launched, while the launches of other candidates are still pending. Mmegi Staffer TSAONE BASIMANEBOTLHE reports

Ndaba Gaolathe

(Gaborone Bonnington South)Bonnington South’s Gaolathe is experienced, having served as the MP for the area during the period 2014-2019. He is well-known locally. He lost the 2019 General Election after his former party Botswana Movement for Democracy split to form the AP. Now, with the AP collaborating with the UDC, Gaolathe has a strong chance of winning if he works as hard as before. However, with the BCP running independently and the stable BDP, challenges remain. Gaolathe, the AP president and the UDC vice president, commands respect and is widely regarded for his capabilities. The constituency he is contesting in is unpredictable, with homes that make it difficult to estimate voter numbers.
