Outgoing president of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), Mokgweetsi Masisi, has cautioned all those contesting for the party leadership roles to conduct their campaigns in a manner that wouldn’t injure the party, its members nor leaders.

The former ruling party will on May 10 and 11, 2025, hold an elective congress in Maun, with the president being elected through a ballot for the first time in history.

He encouraged BDP members to abide by the dictates of the constitution and all regulations governing elections.

“I want to caution very strongly that those members and their supporters who are vying for office know that they are compelled by our constitution and ancillary regulations including practice to when campaigning project themselves, and not project themselves in any manner which so ever might be adversarial or harmful or injurious to another member including the leadership of the party,” he said.
