Venson-Moitoi for BPF presidency

Venson-Moitoi challenged Masisi in the race for the nomination of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party’s (BDP) presidential candidate in the coming general elections expected in October.

It was monumental as it was a first in the history of the 57-year-old party for an incumbent President to have a face-off with someone for the party presidency. The BDP has ruled Botswana continuously since independence in 1966, but was formed in 1962.
