Presidential hopeful and Botswana Congress Party (BCP) leader, Dumelang Saleshando, says his loss at the 2014 General Election was "suitable".

He suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Umbrella for Democratic Change's (UDC) Phenyo Butale in a David vs Goliath encounter.

Saleshando failed to retain the Gaborone Central MP seat, the constituency he had wrestled from Botswana Democratic Party’s (BDP) Margaret Nasha a decade before. Speaking at his presidential launch at Notwane Grounds in Gaborone over the weekend, the Maun West legislator said God allowed him to lose the 2014 General Election for a taste of defeat.
