Defend party, Nasha urges BDP diehards

"We are going to be called all sorts of names by the opposition as we go into campaigns for the elections proper. They will call us thieves and everything else, but we must be ready to defend our party," she said and encouraged BDP faithful to be always proactive and drive their opponents on the defensive.

She reminded BDP members, who thronged the Palapye Community Hall for the launch of the party's campaign manual last Saturday, "to do everything in the book to defend the name of President Ian Khama from being soiled at will by the opposition". Nasha, who described Khama as the face of the party, stressed that "repeated lies are eventually believed if not countered".
