Speaking at a Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) rally to launch him in Lobatse over the weekend, Modubule said his is a battle for liberation and not the BNF or its activists. There has been disappointment among some BNF supporters after Modubule, who tried to re-join the party without success went to the newly formed BMD. The MP said that as the BMD, their intention is to see a united opposition ousting the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) from power.
"Polotiki ya tontokwane e hedile. I will be happy to see the BNF, Botswana Congress Party (BCP), Botswana Peoples Party (BPP) and BMD sharing the same platform in rallies. These people at the top table are not BDP members. They used to speak the language of BDP but now they speak the language of opposition. We want to rebuild this nation. Not where people have to be asleep by 10pm," he said. He told his constituents that they should note that he is still the same politician they voted for as an independent candidate. "Nothing has changed. It is just the time and colours. I am the same Modubule you voted for, the one who represents workers' plight, and other concerns of the people," he said.
