Party congresses should resume - analyst

Both the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and opposition, Botswana National Front (BNF) are not clear on whether they will hold their congresses this year or not.

Only Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) have confirmed that they would each hold virtual congresses.  Political parties are supposed to hold their congresses in July this year after they were postponed last year. The BDP and BNF had earlier postponed theirs in 2019 to focus on the general elections.
