No plans to expel BPP - UDC

Thursday, January 10, 2019

The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has noted word going around in some circles that it wants to expel the Botswana People's Party (BPP) from its fold because of differences over ward allocations.

It has been actively taking part in all UDC activities and decisions. We have no doubt about its commitment to the UDC objectives.
