Opposition Mps Snub UDC Launch

Ngwaketse West MP, Shawn Nthaile was the only Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) Parliamentarian at the launch, while both Botswana Congress Party (BCP) MPs attended.

However, UDC spokesperson Moeti Caesar Mohwasa downplayed the situation.  He said it could be that the MPs were busy addressing constituency meetings, or that they wanted to give the leadership of the UDC space to announce the unity talks without the MP’s taking the limelight.
