Boko, a seasoned leader with an impressive academic background, has been a prominent figure in Botswana's political landscape since his student activism days. He holds an LLB from the University of Botswana, an LLM from Harvard University, and a Diploma in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law from Lund. His extensive experience includes teaching constitutional law at the University of Botswana and leading various organisations such as the Law Society of Botswana and the Botswana Network of Ethics, Law, and HIV/AIDS. Boko's leadership journey began during his student days at the University of Botswana, where he served as the Student Representative Council president. His passion for community service and his unwavering commitment to justice and equality have earned him widespread respect and admiration.
As the leader of the UDC, Boko has successfully mobilised opposition parties, positioning them as a government-in-waiting since 2010 after he took over as the leader of the Botswana National Front (BNF). His legitimacy to the BNF throne was challenged by some but he stood firm and emerged victorious. After the UDC performed impressively during the 2014 General Election, Boko would not make it to the State House then and again in 2019 when matters worsened after he lost his parliamentary seat following a spirited campaign traversing Botswana seeking votes for his Members of Parliament (MPs).
