The Botswana Congress Party (BCP) has issued a strong warning to members engaging in early campaigning for internal positions, cautioning that such actions violate party rules and could result in disqualification ahead of the 2026 elective congress.

The BCP secretary-general, Goretetse Kekgonegile, has cautioned party members against engaging in premature campaigning, stressing that the official electoral process has not yet begun.

Speaking in an interview with Mmegi on Tuesday, Kekgonegile said it was both surprising and concerning that some members were deliberately going against the party constitution despite being fully aware of its provisions.
