Towards the end of last year, during Ntlo Ya Dikgosi consultation on the establishment of the Constitutional Court, Boko broke the internet following his bold statement that the UDC does not have a social contract with citizens to deliver its manifesto. Speaking at the Botswana National Front (BNF) Leadership Forum over the weekend, Boko said the party has obligations to meet.
“We are going to deliver on our obligations. These are obligations that were voluntarily assumed; imposed upon ourselves, and I am faithful to those principles until death. I will not deviate,” Boko said. He further highlighted that as the UDC continues to govern in the second republic, it will hit the ground running with preparations for the 2029 General Elections, which will be the first since assuming office. “Our campaign starts now. Our campaign is based on delivery, ruthless delivery, and the next 12 months are about delivery, serious delivery,” Boko said. Though Boko said the party needs to hit the ground running by campaigning now, he said he has no ounce of fear or frivolity that UDC will retain its power, come the 2029. “Come 2029, Umbrella for Democratic Change will retain this government. I can tell you all here today. Umbrella for Democratic Change will still be here in large numbers,” he said.
