So I formed a political party called Umbrella for Batswana (UB)
This is a temporary name we will change it when we register the party
This party is generally made up of young people
So you have not registered the party?
I'm going to register it now
Now you mean when?
Maybe today or tomorrow. We are at the moment finalizing our constitution
We have got the reasons why the party is not yet registered
The aim of this party is to take over all the opposition parties like…
UDC, AP, BNF, RAP, all those opposition political parties
We will take them and put them in UB and then win against the ruling BDP in 2019
But that is the second best option…
The best option would have been…obviously we are going to win in 2019,
But the best option were if we don't go to general elections in 2019 and rather form a compromise government with BDP
And have 2 Presidents of Botswana preferably me and the incumbent President Masisi. " Co-Presidency"
Its obvious of course we are better that BDP but you have to look at the fact that BDP is the one that built the foundation of this nation
How are you better than BDP?
We are better in terms of politics, winning elections etc.
Who do you mean when you say "we"?
I mean young people. This party is generally made up of young people
So do you have members?
Yes
Where are they?
Currently we have members who are mobilizing the party,
we are planning on having our first rally in 2-3 weeks time
The most important thing about our party is respect
When you are a young person you come through, and become better than your predecessors
You learn from your predecessors' experience and mistakes and you eventually surpass them
I personally believe that I am better than the currently leading opposition leaders (Duma Boko, Ndaba Gaolathe, Saleshando).
Better in what ways?
In terms of being a great politician, taking over, strategies…
Those opposition leaders have no choice and nowhere to run and hide
Their political parties (UDC, AP, etc) are going to go under our party (UB)
We have strategies, we have better plans than what they currently have
Where is the strategy?
Check our website (www.umbrellaforbatswana.com), we have this JAOPPPE idea and many other brilliant strategies
What is JAOPPPE?
Instead of the failing "Constituency Allocation" initiative by UDC, we are proposing the JAOPPPE initiative (Joint All Opposition Political Parties Primary Elections)
Basically we are going to hold joint primary elections for all Botswana opposition parties (UDC, BNF, BCP, BMD, BPP, AP and RAP)
What is RAP now?
Real Alternative Party, the newly formed political party. Don't undermine newcomer parties…
We are going to hold joint primary elections where all Botswana opposition parties will contest,
and then the winner candidates will be the final and only candidates who will represent the entire opposition in 2019 and be voted by all opposition votes (to prevent vote splitting).
For example lets say we go to Gaborone Central constituency. All parties compete and lets say Phenyo Butale (the AP candidate) wins…
We will make legally binding agreements that everyone in Gaborone Central constituency should vote the winner candidate (Phenyo Butale)
And what about UB?
All the winner candidates will go under UB, basically UB will be the ultimate umbrella party
Such that in 2019 only 2 political parties will compete. UB versus BDP. No vote splitting so UB will win
Who will be the President of UB?
UB President will be directly and democratically elected by all opposition voters
So I will be competing against Ndaba Gaolathe, Duma Boko, Dumelang Saleshando and anyone who desires UB Presidency
Even you if you desire UB Presidency you should come and compete for it
…But from my calculations and forecasts, one year from now (in May 2019) I will be very popular such that when I contest for UB Presidency it will be obvious I will win
I will defeat everyone…
