UDC betrayed voters – BCP

Tuesday, June 02, 2026 | 230 Views |

The Botswana Congress Party (BCP) has intensified its criticism of the ruling Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), accusing the coalition of abandoning the promises that propelled it to power and failing to deliver on key commitments made to Batswana.

Addressing a political rally in Selebi-Phikwe East on Saturday, BCP vice president Taolo Lucas said it was time for citizens to acknowledge that voting for the UDC had been a mistake.

He argued that the coalition had failed to meet expectations and was increasingly struggling to govern effectively. Lucas maintained that the BCP's decision to part ways with the UDC had been vindicated by developments since the coalition assumed power.
