BMD politically dead-Analyst

Speaking in an interview with Mmegi on Thursday, Monyatsi said the BMD has reached what she described as a natural political death, marked by its inability to carry out even the most basic party activities. The BMD was formed in 2010 after some members had fallout with the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).

That was after former BDP president, Ian Khama, failed to accept people such as the late Gomolemo Motswaledi, current vice president Ndaba Gaolathe, Botsalo Ntuane, among others, in the BDP central committee after having been elected in Kanye congress. According to Monyatsi, the party’s failure to convene leadership structures, hold congresses, or maintain a visible presence in national politics signals the end of the BMD's relevance.
