In the early 2000s Boko wrote a column in The Monitor newspaper in which he claimed that judges were not intellectually progressive.
He expressed frustration that academics and judges were not doing enough research to make informed judgments.
His position and party membership was challenged on the grounds that when the BNF split in 2000, he had become a founding member of the National Democratic Front (NDF).
If proven, this would, according to the BNF constitution, disqualify him from a leadership position in the party for three years after rejoining it.
He inherited a party that was in decline under the leadership of Otsweletse Moupo.
The BNF came together with the newly formed Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD), a splinter of the Botswana Democratic Party, and the Botswana Peoples Party to form the Umbrella for Democratic Change.
Some BNF members were strongly against the coalition, arguing that the exercise would make their party disappear.
