The ongoing legal altercation between the coalition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) and the body that supervises the polls, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), might provide a requisite test to the credibility and independence of the latter. Mmegi Staffer RYDER GABATHUSE observes
SEROWE: President of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Duma Boko, has once again accused the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) of rigging the 2019 General Election. Boko has sworn that in the 2024 General Election, the UDC won’t allow the alleged rigging to happen again. Boko, who is also the president of the Botswana National Front (BNF), said this at a packed rally here over the weekend.
Two separate meetings that Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) President Duma Boko held with Alliance for Progressives (AP) leader Ndaba Gaolathe and Botswana Patriotic Party (BPF) Patron, Ian Khama, in an attempt to lure them to join the umbrella, are the reason behind the deadlock in the negotiations between the three parties, according to UDC members.
The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) finds itself in a state of deadlock as its constituent parties fail to reach a consensus on the allocation of constituencies
