BPF gave me a political lifeline – Galebotswe :: Mmegi Online

PALAPYE: The self-proclaimed legitimate interim leader of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF), Retired Lieutenant General Gaolathe Galebotswe, says he will fight for the party as it has saved his political career. He said he was mistreated at his former political home, the Botswana National Front (BNF) and the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

Speaking at a meeting he and members of the ‘interim committee’ hosted in Palapye, Galebotswe said he was grateful to have been among those who attended the meeting as their leader. “I am grateful to the interim committee for having considered me for the interim presidency. I would have never turned down the offer, being the fighter that I am. It is the only thing that made me accept the assignment,” he said.

Galebotswe said he accepted the presidency as he had seen something special about the BPF.
