39 former BDP MPs endorse Masisi

We the former BDP Members of Parliament have been following the standoff between HE MEK Masisi and Former HE SKI Khama since it started. Whilst we do not have the full details of its origins, one thing we know is that it has become a very divisive issue within the BDP and nationally. Former HE SKI Khama’s support of Hon P Venson-Moitoi to challenge HE MEK Masisi for the BDP presidency has further deepened the divisions within the BDP and nationally just six months before the General Elections in October 2019. It is SKI who proposed HE MEK Masisi to Parliament for the position of VP of Botswana. It is Former HE SKI Khama who paraded HE MEK Masisi up and down the country before March 31 last year. 

It is our collective observation as former BDP Members of Parliament that HE MEK Masisi has made a good start as president of the BDP and the Republic of Botswana. He has particularly committed to the Vision 2036, rule of law, stakeholder engagement, poverty eradication, aggressive empowerment of citizens and the fight against corruption to mention a few flagship programs in his road map for the country. 

It is our collective position as former BDP Members of Parliament that HE MEK Masisi must be supported to implement his roadmap just as SKI was after he succeeded Former HE FG Mogae. This is why we call upon all BDP members to rally behind HE MEK Masisi at the Special Congress in Kang early next month. We implore all BDP members to support HE MEK Masisi to lead the BDP to the 2019 General Elections. This statement is endorsed and supported by
