Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) has appealed to Molepolole South electorate to vote for the party’s candidates in the upcoming general elections.

Speaking at the launch of prospective parliamentary and council candidates on Saturday, Francistown South MP, who is also the Alliance for Progressives vice president, Mr Wynter Mmolotsi said the UDC prospective candidate Mr Shima Monageng had the residents’ interests and would bring much needed developments in the constituency if elected.

Mr Mmolotsi said the residents made an error in the last elections as they voted the BDP candidate  whom he said  had not been vocal about developments in the area.

He said Molepolole was experiencing acute water shortages yet the area MP said in Parliament that there was plenty of water in the village.

MP Mmolotsi said the UDC, would introduce a living wage of P4 000 and an average salary of P10 000 and 500 000 jobs in five years.

“Under our rule, we’re going to ensure the economy grows at a rate of 10 per cent per annum, and this will support the creation of jobs as well as the minimum living wage,” he said.

For his part, Mr Monageng said it was time there was a regime change as the BDP had run out of ideas. 

He said UDC was the only party that could bring positive changes to the lives of Batswana. Ends
