BNF power struggles intensify ahead of congress

With the Women’s League and Youth League congresses recently concluded and both delivering decisive victories for the Moeti Mohwasa/Stephen Modise team, the political climate within the Botswana National Front (BNF) is growing increasingly tense. However, despite these back-to-back victories, their political rivals, the Ketlhalefile Motshegwa/Nelson Ramaotwana team, remains unconvinced that the outcomes of these leagues polls provide any accurate reflection of what might unfold at the upcoming Botswana National Front (BNF) mother body congress, scheduled for July in Palapye.

The BNF, a key affiliate of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), is preparing for one of its most pivotal moments, the election of its central committee (CC).
