The governing Botswana Democratic Party lost its absolute majority in Parliament for the first time since independence in 1966, marking a major shift in the political landscape.
Masisi acknowledged the election result, stating, 'I promise to do my part in building a strong country and to work with the new administration to ensure that every Batswana has opportunities at their fingertips.'
Economic challenges, particularly the decline in the diamond trade, contributed significantly to the governing party's loss, with critics citing mismanagement and corruption as major issues affecting the country.
'I couldn't be happier to see us out of the rule of Masisi and his administration,' expressed a local teacher, reflecting the sentiment of many voters eager for change.
