UDC introspects after Sekoma loss

There is admission in private party circles that complacency and a lax attitude cost the UDC and that their members, unlike in past by-elections, did not work hard on the ground. In fact, while there is general agreement that the opposition could not match the resources of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) invested campaign, mumblings within are that the party left everything to chance and paid a heavy price for that. The UDC failed to take advantage of its new relationship with Botswana Congress Party (BCP).

Even the leadership confirms this feeling.
