Saleshando appreciates Khama's endorsements

Thursday, August 15, 2019

TATISIDING: Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) vice president Dumelang Saleshando has openly made it clear that the party will not shun former president Ian Khama’s endorsement leading to the 2019 general election.

Saleshando was speaking at the launch of UDC candidate for Tati East Mathodi Modisapodi over the weekend. He emphasised that the UDC needs votes to win elections, which is why it will not shun Khama’s endorsement.

“We never agreed with Khama for the past 20 years. During those years the ruling party members said that we should leave Khama alone and we gladly did that.

The BDP as a party known to have ample resources has always held its primaries well in time, but this time around that was not the case. The first leg of the primaries was held last weekend, with the final leg being billed for the coming weekend. This time around, the BDP failed to shine in its primary elections.
