BMD, BCP in exclusive courtship of BNF

The latest in the crescendo of animosity between the two camps is that each is courting the Botswana National Front (BNF) for cooperation at the expense of the other. Last week the BNF received letters with conflicting requests from the two parties where each sought a deal that will see them in cooperation with BNF.

The BCP is proposing an exclusive deal of an unspecified model as a means to topple the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the 2014 general elections and is asking for a preliminary meeting to consider outlines."We are focused on engaging the BNF and believe with them we can find an alternative to the umbrella," says BCP spokesman, Taolo Lucas.
