Baaitse snubs BPF for UDC

Baaitse will be eyeing the Tswapong North constituency. He was initially named on the BPF’s list of aspiring candidates for the party’s primary elections but has since opted for the UDC because he believes the latter stands a better chance for removing the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) from power.

“There is no political party in Botswana that can win state power outside the UDC. The opposition as it is currently divided cannot remove the BDP from power. The UDC is the only platform that offers the opposition the best opportunity to remove the BDP from power hence my decision to contest the elections under the banner of the UDC,” Baaitse said in an interview with Mmegi.
