Having been in the opposition trenches for decades now, the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) president, Dumelang Saleshando, has said they will do their best to execute their mandate as the main opposition party in the country.

He said they take up their role unapologetically as they have a responsibility to hold those with majority seats accountable.
