It is not clear whether Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretary-general (SG), Mpho Balopi will defend his position at the forthcoming elective congress or not. Mmegi has learnt that Balopi is still weighing his options while also consulting his supporters. However, Balopi is facing pressure from his family who wants him to quit active politics.

Already, businessman Lesang Magang has indicated that he will contest the seat and has a blessing from some of the party leaders. On the other hand, Balopi said it is up to the members to evaluate if they still need him or not.
