The BDP and the Khama magic: It's just a Myth

He posits that Batswana have spoken, and that their message is loud and clear - they are solidly behind Ian Khama. Mbuya points out that even if they were not direct presidential election, these elections were about Khama.

I agree with him. But I do not think that it can be argued by any stretch of the imagination that the results were an emphatic and resounding victory for Ian Khama. The BDP got only 54 per cent of the popular vote, for crying out loud! What is emphatic and resounding about that?
