Moyo In The Race For BPF Presidency

Moyo, who then claimed there was a conspiracy plot to assassinate him, said he is back in politics and has thrown his hat in the ring for the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) presidency when congress is held. The Monitor has learnt that Moyo will be battling it out with Tshekedi Khama and Biggie Butale.

“Yes, I will be contesting for the BPF presidency. I do not know who else is contesting. I do have business activities outside the country and I will be in and out. If elected it will then be a full-time assignment in particular for all key positions in the party. “The date of the congress is to be determined by the National Executive Committee (NEC). I will not quit politics. It must be understood I am a Motswana like anyone and I have the right to affiliate and contest for party positions. I was approached by some members of BPF to contest and I accepted,” Moyo told The Monitor on Friday. Moyo, who was on Saturday addressing a star rally at Tamasane in the Mmadinare constituency, said the reason why he came back is to ensure that the BPF wins the by-elections that Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has given them.
