The unprecedented fall of the BDP

The upcoming period will likely feel like the longest five years in the party’s history, as it navigates the unfamiliar terrain of opposition for the first time. In an unprecedented turn of events, the BDP suffered a humiliating defeat in the general elections, losing power to the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

This shocking outcome has left many within the party struggling to recover. Adding to their distress is that the party only managed to secure four parliamentary seats, a staggering decline.
