BCP’s UDC exit could undo historic feat

For a party that was wounded in the 2014 general elections, BCP managed to find stability when it joined the UDC in 2018 and now that is about to be eroded away should the party leave the opposition coalition.

BCP made history in the 2019 general elections when it won 11 parliamentary seats under the stewardship of the UDC. Coincidentally, the number 11 is the same number of legislators who broke out from the Botswana National Front (BNF) in 1998 to form the BCP.
