BNF women await leadership inclusion

Friday, January 30, 2026 | 140 Views |

Botswana National Front (BNF) president Duma Boko has not yet selected the three additional members of the party’s central committee (CC). Even so, expectations remain high that the pending appointments will be used to strengthen the voice of women within the party’s top leadership.

The issue came into sharper focus last week when the BNF formally introduced its central committee (CC) during a press briefing. The party also announced that it would soon constitute its sub-committees. However, it became evident that the additional CC members provided for in the party constitution had not yet been appointed, despite the committee having already held its retreat.

Under the BNF constitution, the power to appoint the three additional central committee members rests entirely with the party president.
