In a bid to win in the upcoming general election, the BCP aims for all seven North West constituencies. Saleshando invaded Maun West one more time on Sunday to inform the constituents that they could trust Hikuama with their vote come October. After the delimitation commission increased Maun constituencies from two to three, the BCP leader said he was confident that the only man who could help the party retain the constituency was Hikuama. Saleshando, a former Gaborone Central legislator who switched to Maun West in 2019 after his party joined the UDC, is now moving again to Maun North. However, this time around he doesn't have to go far.
“If there is an MP I can freely speak about is Hikuama because we first crossed paths during our youthful days at the University of Botswana. I learnt his politics and he studied mine. “Our politics were intertwined and were focussed on the fact that we cannot be silent when things aren't going well,” he said when launching Hikuama in Maun West on Sunday. Saleshando also revealed that he, alongside Hikuama, were part of the students who protested at Parliament during the infamous Segametsi Mogomotsi murder case in Mochudi. He said Hikuama couldn’t continue with his teaching profession when Ngami was still under the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). “Even as a teacher, he was fighting for the rights of others. He takes his job seriously and he isn't to be easily intimidated,” he said. Saleshando told Maun West constituents that it was important to vote for Hikuama as the BCP aims to ‘save Botswana’ in the upcoming polls.
