What next for BNF?

FRANCISTOWN: After failing to meet its target of winning 29 constituencies in the October 16 general elections, it is back to the drawing board for the main opposition, the Botswana National Front (BNF).

Although the BNF went into the general elections torn and worn by instability, the party still set itself the ambitious target so that it could possibly form the government. But as fate would have it, the party that once threw the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) into a panic when it won 13 constituencies in 1994 has seen its fortunes dwindle over time.
