Do or die for the BDP

During the congress, a new party leadership will be elected to steer the BDP until the next general election. So far, party veteran Mpho Balopi and youthful Ame Makoba have officially expressed their interest in the presidency.

Currently, the party is grappling with the loss of members to other political parties following its defeat in the last national polls. To make matters worse, some members are advocating for the congress to be held earlier, arguing that this would provide the party with a stronger foundation ahead of the elections.
