I AM BEST PLACED TO MOVE BCP FORWARD- KEKGONEGILE
Having been a President of Botswana Land Boards and Local Government Workers Union (BLLAWU) at some point, Goretetse Kekgonegile is now preparing to make a step into the Botswana Congress Party’s leadership.
The Maun East Member of Parliament is the latest to raise his hand for the party’s Secretary General position, a move that pits against Moncho Moncho and MP for Nkange, Never Tshabang.
The Voice Staffer,
Kindly share what you have achieved since you baceme an MP.
MP’s job centres around legislation, linking the constituency with resources and putting the constituency’s plight in the public agenda.
On the 10th of April 2021, the Botswana Congress Party Central Committee convened a virtual meeting to receive reports on the party program from the National Executive Committee. This was a routine meeting of the central committee at which the state of the organization is reviewed by its leadership and decisions made on the future of the party.
Given some developments within our national political landscape, there are speculations that have been made regarding the future of the Botswana Congress Party in the opposition coalition. The speculations suggest, among other things, that the BCP is planning to exit the Umbrella for Democratic Change and will contest the 2024 general elections as a stand-alone party. We wish to report on the outcome of the central committee to avoid unnecessary speculation.
