Boko confident of UDC victory :: Mmegi Online

Duma Gideon Boko or DGB as he is popularly known, believes his party, a tri-party coalition of the Botswana National Front (BNF), the Alliance for Progressives (AP) and the Botswana Peoples Party (BPP) stands a better chance to win the 2024 General Election after all its past failed efforts. Mmegionline Staffer RYDER GABATHUSE speaks to the politician who turns 55 years later this year

“The time for change is now,” Boko thunders as he opened the conversation just in the corridors of the Gaborone High Court. He led a brigade of royal blue-kitted loyalists who had come to witness him being nominated alongside other party leaders as presidential nominees. He is steadfast that his party is the vanguard of the requisite change of the people’s fortunes for the better.

When quizzed as to what difference his party is bringing into the 2024 General Election, Boko, the clean freak, giggles before suppressing his laughter and quickly making a frowned face and responded: “As the UDC, we spread the message of uplifting people from abject poverty that is bedevilling many people and other societal ills under the government of the BDP.”
