BPP fields six parliamentary candidates

BPP president and parliamentary candidate, Bernard Balikani said that even though they have fewer parliamentary candidates, they have more people contesting at council level. He said the BPP has fielded 40 council candidates. "I am confident with this representation because even though we did not cover the whole country, our vision of taking power from the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in 2014 still stands," said Balikani.

"You must remember that even though the BPP is one of the oldest political parties, we are a relatively small party. We also have the problem of financial constraints as well as that of resources," he explained.
