Opposition may help BDP topple Khama

He asserted that there is a likelihood of the Barata-Phathi faction teaming up with the opposition to mount a successful opposition to Khama's endorsement as president by Parliament. "There is the likelihood that after the general elections, the Barata-Phathi may team up with members of opposition and not endorse Khama as state president.

Also, Khama may not want to work with members of the Barata-Phathi after general elections. The problem is that there is no wisdom in the leadership of the BDP, otherwise there was no need for all this drama," he said in reference to the dispute between Khama and suspended Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretary general, Gomolemo Motswaledi.
