'UDC focused on retaining the seat, disregard BPF' - Molutsi

Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) members are divided over the decision by the Central Committee to contest the Kgalagadi South by-election, instead of yielding and supporting the ruling Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), with whom they have a ‘working’ arrangement.

In previous by-election scenarios, there had been instances whereby BPF wouldn't field a candidate but rather rallying behind UDC. UDC also did the same, fully campaigning for BPF, and such arrangement caused an upset to the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) at the time.

Author's summary: BPF members are divided over the by-election decision.
