Numbers boost BCP confidence in Parliament

In the 1999 and 2004 general elections, the BCP only had one MP but after a impressive performance in the last polls, the party now feels confident because of better numbers in Parliament.  Gaborone Central MP and BCP publicity chief, Dumelang Saleshando, the party's sole legislator in the last Parliament, says that more numbers means greater visibility.

"I think it will be an exciting five years. I think a team of five is going to be more effective than one," says the BCP spokesman. He states that they will introduce a new system in Parliament where the opposition will have spokespersons on different sectors. Each BCP MP will have a specific sector that he will be dealing with.
