The BNF congress will be held in Palapye during the President's holidays.
What began as a routine build-up to the congress has now escalated into a fierce political battle that pits two rival teams against each other, Nelson Ramaotwana and Ketlhalefile Motshegwa on one side, and Moeti Mohwasa and Stephen Modise on the other. As the BNF gears up for the congress, which is expected to shape the party’s direction ahead of the 2029 General Election, the competition for influence amongst delegates has become increasingly intense. Constituencies and wards have become battlegrounds, with reports suggesting that the scramble for control over lists of delegates is more aggressive than anticipated.
