BPP Yet To Appoint Delegates To UDC NEC

Boko insisted that the BPP had not snubbed the UDC as reported in the media.

In the first UDC NEC meeting that was held at Tlokweng recently, the BPP, whose president is the umbrella chairperson, did not pitch, fueling speculation that the BPP was deliberately snubbing the UDC because it was unhappy with the issue of constituencies it was allocated to contest at the make-or-break 2019 general elections. It has also been suggested that the BPP, which is said to be supporting Ndaba Gaolathe’s faction of the Botswana Movement (BMD) for Democracy, was against the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) sitting in the meetings. The UDC president said he spoke to the BPP president, Motlatsi Molapise over the last few days, who assured him that by not later than September, the BPP would have appointed its members to sit in the 16 -member UDC NEC.
