Kgalagadi South losers accept defeat

The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) executive secretary, Ame Makoba, acknowledged the outcome whilst emphasising the party’s resilience. “We accept the results, though we had hoped to win,” Makoba said. “Remember, we just lost power, but we fought, and the numbers clearly show that the BDP remains strong. Our members must toughen up, stay motivated, and continue working hard.”

For the Botswana Congress Party (BCP), candidate Tshepang Brooks also expressed satisfaction with the party’s performance. “It has been a long time since my party contested in this area,” he said. “We have done well, and these results show that the party has the potential to grow and establish a stronger presence in Kgalagadi South.”
