Campaigns heat up ahead of BPF Congress

The BPF is scheduled to hold its long-awaited elective congress next month in Serowe, where the national leadership will be elected. The congress comes at a time when the party remains deeply divided over both leadership and political alliances. According to reliable information obtained by Mmegi, those expected to battle it out for the party presidency include the current BPF president, Mephato Reatile, and Lawrence Ookeditse, who currently serves as the party’s Secretary-General.

The contest between the two is expected to be one of the most watched in the party’s history, as both men are influential and command considerable support amongst members.
