BPP undaunted, declares Balikani

Although the country's oldest party's fortunes have been dwindling over the years, literally reducing the once powerful BPP to a struggling regional organisation based in the North East, it has avoided opposition co-operation to rescue it from its political doldrums.

"Our November 2007 resolution taken at the extra-ordinary conference to stay away from opposition co-operation until the 2009 general election will never haunt us. It was a resolution taken based on principle," declared Balikani yesterday.
