Thus the question is, will the formation of the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) (makes you think MDC?) lead to peace and stability withiin the BDP?

First, a political faction is a group of individuals within a political organisation with some kind of political purpose. This power bloc is united in one common goal or a set of common goals for the broader organization, not shared by all its members.
