“BDP is finished. They’re going down!” – Moswaane
On 4th August 2020, Francistown West Member of Parliament (MP), Ignatius Moswaane resigned from the Botswana Democratic Party following his 60-day suspension for allegedly bringing the party’s name into disrepute.
The maverick MP would later cross the floor to the opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change on 17th September.
For seven months Moswaane kept people guessing about his political home as he delayed joining any member of the UDC’s contracting parties. He was linked with all the parties, including the newly formed Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF).
However, speculation was finally put to rest in Tati Siding last Saturday when the veteran politician was welcomed into the Botswana People’s Party (BPP).
