The Botswana Congress Party and the Botswana Alliance Movement have officially merged into one party. At a press conference in Gaborone, the two political parties announced that they have merged into a new party and adopted Botswana Congress Party (BCP) as its name.

The new party will use the old BCP constitution.
Addressing the press conference, BCP secretary general, Taolo Lucas, said executive committees and the membership of the two parties had agreed that the party's colours would be lime green, black and white.  The new party's disc will bear 'Botswana Congress Party' and feature a black cow on top, replacing the white dove and rainbow on the old BCP disc. 

 Lucas said they will elect the party's central committee by July, while the party will be led by members of the two parties' old central committees.
