Officially launching Mr Ntlhaile in Gaborone on Sunday, Adv. Boko appealed to Gaborone North residents to vote for UDC, saying the party advocated for decent jobs and decent lives. He said that UDC would use its manifesto as a social contract, to better the lives of all Batswana, promising an inclusive growth and quality lives for all.
