BCP leadership forum consequential

Friday, May 26, 2023 | 40 Views |

The Botswana Congress Party (BCP) will hold the 2023 Leadership Forum over the weekend in Palapye with a litany of challenges still hanging over their heads.

The Dumelang Saleshando- led party had to watch in dismay as their once would be partners, Alliance for Progressives (AP), dumped them to start talks with the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

They have been estranged from their parent coalition, the UDC, over governance issues amongst others. The BCP had longed to leave the UDC but are stuck because quitting the coalition they joined in 2017 would trigger by-elections. They have lost all recent by-elections to the UDC while on the other side they are continuing to lose their councillors to the Umbrella.
