The Botswana National Front (BNF) has reiterated its devotion to the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) project and the path to a new Government for Batswana. “We commit to uphold with distinction our duty and obligation to UDC for its continued stability as a formidable, unbreakable organisation to usher the 2nd Republic,” said party spokesperson Ketlhalefile Motshegwa.
He said BNF highly appreciates and respects BPP, BPF and AP. “We pride ourselves in our mutual, glowing and joyful relationship with these parties. We have respect and trust in the leadership of Cde Boko, Cde Molapise, Cde Gaolatlhe and Cde Reatile and their Central Committees to lead the nation to the new dawn,’ said Motshegwa.
He added that “with great measure of humility, respect, we humble ourselves before the nation to say the UDC is viable, credible organisation to take over from BDP for genuine democracy, economic liberation & empowerment of Batswana.”
Meanwhile the Botswana National Front held its Leadership Consultative Forum on the 10th February 2024 in Tonota to focus on crafting a solid campaign programme or strategy for 2024 general elections as contribution to UDC programme in pursuit of change of Government.
