UDC cross-country victory celebration on Saturday

Advocate Duma Boko, the sixth President of Botswana, led the UDC at the 2024 polls to dismantle BDP's dominance of the general elections. The ruling UDC won 36 seats to form the new government, whilst BDP only garnered four seats. Botswana Congress Party (BCP) secured 15 seats to become the main opposition whilst Botswana Patriotic Front (BPF) got five seats. Independent candidate Dr Edwin Dikoloti won the last seat.

Speaking at a media address yesterday, UDC spokesperson Moeti Mohwasa shared that they felt the need to celebrate the historic win and include every Motswana across the country as without them the regime change would only be a dream. The cross-country celebrations are expected to commence on Saturday at the National Stadium following the inauguration of the President at the same venue.
