Boko invokes King Solomon's wisdom
Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) president Duma Boko believes it’d have been a “terrible mistake, serious miscalculation and politically improper”, for him to intervene in the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) internal squabbles much earlier.
There are currently two factions at BMD that are claiming legitimacy to run the troubled Orange Movement. Following their infamous bloody congress in Bobonong last week, BMD has emerged with two factions led by Advocate Sydney Pilane and another by Ndaba Gaolathe. The two factions have since written to UDC claiming to represent the party, BMD.
Addressing media this week, Boko said it’d have been a ‘terrible error of judgment’ if UDC had heeded calls to intervene in the BMD wars.
