FRANCISTOWN: Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) spokesperson, Moeti Mohwasa has dismissed Botswana Congress Party’s (BCP) commitment to engage UDC in cooperation talks as a mere spin.

Smarting from its Leadership Forum held in Palapye over the weekend, the BCP recommended amongst others, “upon completing its elections evaluation exercise, the party will engage the UDC and other opposition formations with a view to explore appropriate models of cooperation to unseat the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP).”

The BCP also recommended that it would work with other opposition parties in both local council and parliament. In an interview yesterday, Mohwasa was steadfast that at best, “we regard the position of the BCP as a spin to keep people hoping that there will be discussions when in actual fact they are not committed.”
