BDP targets BPF MPs as it plans revival

As the countdown to the 2029 General Election begins, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is orchestrating a calculated effort to reclaim its former glory after a stunning political upheaval. For the first time since Botswana’s independence in 1966, the BDP has been relegated to the opposition benches following its defeat by the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) in the 2024 General Election. This loss ended nearly six decades of uninterrupted rule, a legacy that had long defined the nation’s political landscape. Now, with renewed determination, the party is targeting key constituencies held by the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) as it charts a bold course toward resurgence.
