BNF seeks unity post turmoil

Such an announcement comes against the backdrop of persistent factional tensions, public spats amongst members, and continued use of temporary communication platforms that were meant to be dissolved after the congress.

Although the BNF constitution requires all temporary structures and platforms formed during congress periods to be disbanded thereafter, Mmegi has it on good authority that several such WhatsApp groups remain active post congress. Some of these platforms, sources say, have become spaces where members openly attack the party leadership and government positions, thus deepening divisions within the organisation.
