The Botswana Congress Party (BCP) is set for its second phase of primary elections on December 2, 2023, following completion of the first phase earlier this month, The Monitor has learnt.

In the next phase, 14 to 17 constituencies, including areas in Gaborone, will go for the primaries, building on the initial nine constituencies covered in the first phase.
