The development was confirmed by BNF treasurer Arafat Khan during a press briefing held last week. According to Khan, the party has already begun construction on its plot, a move he said reflects a renewed commitment to institutional stability and long-term planning. He noted that the project is expected to be completed within the next two months, signalling a significant shift from the party’s long-standing reliance on rented office space. “The project has started, and it has a two-month timeframe,” Khan said. “In addition, we have also bought another office, and we will soon be moving into it. I know members have been worried that it is time for the party to either build or buy offices, and we are moving in the right direction.”
Khan’s remarks appeared aimed at reassuring party members who have previously raised concerns about the lack of permanent infrastructure. Over the years, the BNF has rented offices, a situation that, according to some members, limited the party’s operational efficiency and visibility. Meanwhile, the press briefing also outlined broader organisational reforms, particularly around modernising party operations. Speaking at the same event, BNF secretary-general Dr Stephen Modise said the party is accelerating its move towards digitalisation, starting with membership registration and renewal. Modise explained that, going forward, members will be required to renew their membership online, whilst new applications will also be processed through a digital system.
