Regime change: A moving target

Botswana’s ruling party has been in power since the country's independence in 1966 and every election year, regime change has seemingly been an agonisingly and elusive moving target.

When the country goes to the polls in 2024, the opposition parties are likely to perpetuate the split of votes that continue to advantage the ruling party. Just recently, the stand-off between parties contracted to the coalition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), seem to have reversed what seemed like obvious gains in the opposition bloc.
