BNFYL finally heads to elective congress :: Mmegi Online

After two years of failing to hold a congress due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Botswana National Front Youth League (BNFYL) will finally have its long overdue elective congress in April.

The congress themed, 'The BNFYL as the building block for regime change in 2024' will be held in Letlhakeng and could deliver the league’s first female president.

The congress set to be held in May 2020 was postponed indefinitely alongside that of the party central committee and the Women’s League. While there has been a fierce contest between Team Unity led by councillor Xukuri Xukuri and Team Revival led by BNF Women’s League secretary-general Resego Kgosidintsi, the presidential elections could be less exciting. This is after Xukuri rescinded his intentions to stand leaving Kgosidintsi as the sole contender for the youth league top post.
