Internal feuding shrinks UDC power

The stand off between the two political giants has become toxic and is apparently destroying the cohesive force that had brought the opposition parties together when most needed. The UDC is a tri-party consisting the BCP, BNF and the Botswana Peoples Party (BPP).

For starters, the BCP is a breakaway party from the BNF and was conceived in 1998 post the volatile infamous Palapye meeting where 11 BNF legislators broke away from the Kenneth Koma-led BNF.
