No amount of cheating or corrupt practices by the monied who think our people are purchasable should stop the winds of change that are blowing in our country. To those who want to exploit our people by giving them money to influence them to decide against a prosperous future for their children, we assure them that their approach will end in tears. Of course, our people need food parcels and money that our opponents offer them. Our message is; 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐬; 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐂𝐏 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒.

We urge our people to continue to work hard and leave nothing to chance. Please talk to your families, friends and relatives this festive season. We need to build an unbreakable covenant as already shown by the people at Borotsi - Lepokole. Through this victory we hope Batswana will be disabused, once and for all of the false narrative being peddled by doomsayers and apologists of the moribund and corrupt BDP regime that “there is still no alternative”. Of course there is an alternative; and 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐂𝐏. We say to our people you are your own liberators and through you we will achieve Freedom in our lifetime!
