BDP troubles mount

Recently, the BDP has been under fire from some of its councillors who accused the party of corruption and are worried about the way things are run. The concerned councillors believe that the party cannot win the 2024 General Election if it continues to run things the way it has been.

The party has also been facing backlash from the public who believe it is failing to deliver on its promises. Of recent, the ruling party councillors have raised concern about the BDP’s priorities noting that government should have prioritised buying COVID-19 vaccines rather than splashing P58 million on buying the Tautona Lodge. They said members of the public are currently dying in large numbers due to the pandemic, which should be given priority. As of August 16, the country had recorded 2,261 deaths due to COVID-19.
