It Is High Time Batswana Take All Elections Seriously

There is a popular saying ‘politics is a tricky game’, which sometimes suggests that voters do not scrutinise the candidates they vote for, only to end up disappointed afterwards. Some voters become emotional when choosing their representatives, but some go a step further, and make sure they elect an individual who they believe could represent them well.

While the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), does its best to educate voters in relation to general elections; there is a still need for intensive voter education, especially at grassroots level.  Some politicians know how to sell themselves, and win the hearts of the electorates, but some end up failing their constituency in one way or the other.
