A fierce battle is expected among parliamentary candidates at this year’s General Election in three Francistown constituencies.

For instance, in Francistown East, Godisang Radisigo has an assignment of retaining the constituency for the ruling party, while the Botswana Congress Party's (BCP) Vain Mamela, will attempt to overcome his reputation as a perennial general election loser. Tiroyaone Ntsima of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) will attempt to make his mark, having failed in previous attempts to go to Parliament. In Francistown South, Modiri Lucas of the Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) hopes that his philanthropic exploits will earn him votes. The UDC’s Wynter Mmolotsi will leverage on his extensive political experience to defend his seat. Solly Reikeletseng of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) will try his luck as a political novice in the area. In Francistown West, Ignatius Moswaane of the UDC would also heavily depend of his rich political resume to retain the constituency, while the BCP’s Mothusi Chimbise seeks to capitalise on existing party structures. Grembo Kealotswe of the BDP will inevitably depend on his resources prowess to emerge victorious.
