BDP signals determined political comeback

At a time when many have questioned its relevance following its loss of power, the party’s recent retreat demonstrated renewed determination, organisational strength and a refusal to retreat quietly into political obscurity. The gathering, which ran late into Saturday night, showcased a movement regrouping with intent and seriousness, driven largely by its experienced elders who are determined to reclaim and redefine their party’s future.

Significantly, the weekend retreat attracted more than 80% of former Cabinet ministers who served under the administrations of Ian Khama and Mokgweetsi Masisi. Not only its former ministers, but also former members of Parliament, some elders who were no longer active, financers amongst others.
