UDC president Boko PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground”. That is just a quote from a fantasy TV show except that it sums up the real and current situation between the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) and the Botswana National Front (BNF).

BCP wants to take over the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) presidency through a congress but BNF has made it clear that it would not have any of that.

The UDC, which is a tri-party coalition party also formed by the hushed Botswana People’s Party (BPP), cannot have two presidents therefore one of BNF and BCP has to give up its desire to the throne.
