FRANCISTOWN: First National Bank Botswana (FNBB) executive, Lucky Bogopa has reportedly joined the race to contest the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) primaries later this year.

Bogopa works as a branch manager for FNBB in Francistown. He has, however, remained tightlipped on the reports linking him to the BCP primaries. The primaries are meant to book candidacy for the 2024 General Election. The BCP is yet to issue a writ for the primary elections but speculation has been growing that Bogopa is poised to challenge Vain Mamela in a bid to secure candidacy for the next general election. Bogopa is said to be the preferred choice of many BCP diehards in the constituency.

However, recently, Bogopa told Mmegi that he cannot discuss his reported candidacy in the media. “I am not at liberty to comment on issues related to reports that I want to contest the primary elections in Francistown East. I will be violating the conditions of my employment. I can only comment about what you are asking me about only if am not under the employ of FNBB,” Bogopa said in a brief response.
