Opposition clash over Bophirima ward 

This has since enraged some coalition members who feel 'enough is enough'. Already the BCP, which is an affiliate to the UDC, has compromised on the Lentsweletau, Metsimotlhabe and Tamasane wards. According to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) Act, a vacant council seat by-election should be held within three months when a councillor dies or resigns.

The three wards, which were under the BCP care in the 2019 general election, were given to other opposition parties outside the UDC affiliation during the recent by-elections. Metsimotlhabe and Lentsweletau were given to the Alliance for Progressives (AP) while Tamasane was given to the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF). However, the BCP youth league has now put pressure on the party president and executive leadership to ensure that they negotiate the matter quickly.
