BMD NEC requests UDC recognition

The troubled BMD has endured months of friction between two warring factions led by Gaolathe and Sidney Pilane, but last week, Gaolathe’s team left to form a new party called Alliance for Progressives (AP).

Yesterday, highly placed insiders said the BMD now wanted to start participating in UDC meetings and activities. The BMD had not been attending UDC NEC meetings because it had submitted two parallel national executive committees for recognition by the opposition bloc.
