AP: The cynosure of all eyes

The party’s performance in the 2024 General Election under the realm of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) partnership placed it at an auspicious locus to charm more people to race for party positions.

The AP is a splinter party from the beleaguered Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD), which also broke away from the former ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in 2010. Following its splinter from the BMD in 2017 the AP became part of the UDC although it stood on its own in the 2019 polls and performed dismally.
