The Botswana National Front (BNF) central committee (CC) has embarked on a nationwide tour aimed at strengthening party structures and reviving those that have become inactive, as the party prepares for its leadership forum scheduled for next month.

The exercise is intended to ensure that all regional structures are functional, legitimate, and ready to participate in key decision-making processes.

According to the party’s spokesperson, Carter Joseph, the central committee initiated the tour after identifying that the mandates of some regional structures had lapsed. As a result, he said, the affected regions would be required to elect new office bearers to restore legitimacy and compliance with party constitutional requirements. “The CC will ensure the election process is done accordingly. The regional congress shall be responsible to the CC; shall elect a regional committee, receive from constituencies reports, motions, and review such reports, and determine the progress of the front at the constituency and regional level. The regional executive committee shall have the power, in its opinion it is necessary for the protection of the interest of the BNF to do so, to take interim measures, pending the convening of the regional committee and or any relevant structures,” he said.
