Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Botswana Chapter held its board of trustees elections on Saturday at Maharaj Conference Centre in Gaborone on Saturday (January 22. 2023).

The elections had two teams namely: Team Reshaping MISA and Team Integrity. All Team reshaping MISA member won except for one candidate for the Secretary post. One can say it was a long road to the elections, looking at the fact that it took four years for the elections to be held. MISA board elections are supposed to be held every two years, but they could not be held in time due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected many activities world-wide.

The board of trustees elections were initially set for September 3, 2022 following the MISA annual general meeting (AGM), which took place at the same. That was however not to be, as a hot debate ensued on whether the eligibility of one of the candidates who at the time was or still is serving in the structures of one of the political parties was eligible. As a result the AGM resolved to postpone the elections for three months
