BPF defers elective congress to 2025

The decision was reached at the party national executive committee (NEC) meeting on Tuesday although it was reportedly met with an element of disapproval from a few members most notably former president Ian Khama who is now the party patron.

According to insiders, the consensus at the meeting was that the elective congress can divide or leave the party as a polarised entity and ultimately disrupt preparations for the 2024 General Election.
