BPF not intimidated by new party

In the past Khama made it public that he wants to be BPF president-a move that elicited mixed feelings within the party and it is believed to have caused tensions too.

For a while now, some disgruntled members have been rumoured to be working behind the scenes to form a new political movement and it is reported that all roads will soon be heading to Selibe-Phikwe for the unveiling of a new party. It is believed that the main target for the faction is to rally behind Khama who is still influential in the Bangwato heartland.
