President of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko, says he is happy that the Alliance for Progressives’ (AP) leader, Ndaba Gaolathe is back in the fold.

Speaking on Saturday at the Diphetogo grounds in the Gaborone Bonnington South constituency, Boko said Gaolathe understands the UDC better since he was part of the formation of the umbrella.

“Now I can sleep like a baby, knowing that UDC is in good hands,” Boko said jokingly. Boko also expressed happiness that the newly elected Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) president, Mephato Reatile, is also part of the umbrella as he understood the dynamics of opposition politics. Before defecting in 2014, Reatile was a member of the Botswana National Front (BNF), which is a member of the UDC.
