BPF in trying moment

When the BPF, a splinter party from the ruling BDP was launched three years ago on July 6 in Kanye, a village in the southern District of the country, it hit the ground running. Its founding president, Biggie Butale is on record having told the partisan crowd at the Kanye rally: “I would leave Botswana if the BDP wins the next elections.”

Hundreds of disgruntled BDP supporters then decided to follow their leaders who had dumped the ruling party accusing it of undemocratic tendencies.
