Opposition to lose elections � report

“The first reason is that Botswana’s scattered opposition is unlikely to win many seats in the country’s electoral system. The second is that one of the opposition parties has lost its front man in a recent car accident. But the most important reason is that in spite of the corruption charges, autocratic movements and remaining high inequality, the population has (so far) remained pleased with the way the country is being run,” reads the report published last Friday.

Recently, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) lost its charismatic secretary general Gomolemo Motswaledi in a tragic car accident. He was its Gaborone Central elections candidate.
