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).

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