Botswana Republican Party

The Botswana Republican Party (BRP) is a Christian-democratic political party in Botswana led by former Tati West MP, Biggie Butale. It was founded in 2023 as a result of a split from the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) following a prolonged leadership battle between Butale and the BPF. This battle ultimately led to Butale's expulsion from the BPF and the foundation of the BRP.^[1][2] The Africa Report described the party as having "Christian conservative leanings as Butale, a pastor, opposes homosexuality and the legalisation of abortion".^[3] They participated in the 2024 Botswana general election, which was their first.^[3]
