Jubilation as BAM-BCP pact is launched in Maun

BAM-BCP followers ululated and whistled as their charismatic leaders took turns to attack the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and other opposition parties, especially the Botswana National Front (BNF) for withdrawing from the cooperation talks.

First to take centre stage was doyen of opposition parties Motsamai Mpho who fired a salvo at critics of their alliance. He said that for a long time opposition parties had been under the illusion that they could wrestle state power from the BDP as single entities.
