Khama's pick expected to lead BDP youth

Will the congress receive and consider divergent views, or will they only listen to the president and rubberstamp his position? The congress comes at a time of serious concern that inner-party democracy at the BDP has been replaced by 'Khamacracy.'

Already, radio personality McDonald Rakgare of Yarona FM, a close friend of Khama's, is tipped to be anointed as the Chairman of the BDP Youth Wing, or he will clinch some other powerful position. Rakgare resigned from the Botswana National Front's (BNF) University of Botswana cell, Mass, where he was once elected president of the Student Representative Council (SRC).
