BCP campaigns spark internal tensions :: Mmegi Online

Botswana Congress Party (BCP) is facing growing internal tensions as campaigns for key party positions intensify, with some members reportedly defying established guidelines meant to regulate the election process. Traditionally, party members are expected to wait for the official issuance of the election writ before openly campaigning.

However, this norm appears to be increasingly disregarded ahead of the party’s upcoming elective conference. In recent days, the race for influential positions has escalated, drawing significant attention and interest from within party ranks.

Notably, the heightened activity has exposed divisions among members, particularly over the timing and manner of campaigning. Despite calls for restraint from party leadership, aspirants and their supporters have continued to push forward with visible and, at times, aggressive campaigns. Earlier, BCP Secretary General Goretetse Kekgonegile urged members to adhere to party procedures and refrain from campaigning before the election writ is officially issued.
