UDC Women Better Step Up To The Plate

The words were echoed by the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) women’s league president, Daisy Bathusi over the weekend when giving a key-note address at the Botswana National Front Women’s League conference in Tonota.

She said should women be excluded from the 2019 line-up, to many it would mean that the UDC’s commitment to gender equality and women empowerment is gravely lacking. Currently, only the Botswana People’s Party (BPP) in the UDC has a single female parliamentary candidate for the 2019 general elections. The ruling party has four candidates while the Alliance for Progressives has two.
