Tlhabologo Furniture PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

At age 36, former Botswana Congress Party (BCP) Youth League president, Tlhabologo Furniture, is likely to be the youngest parliamentary candidate in the 2024 General Election. Furniture has already been confirmed by the BCP leadership as the parliamentary candidate for the Tati East constituency.

He has been BCP YL president for a single term from 2019 to July 2022, interestingly quite aware of what he is getting himself into. And readily admits that his is of course an uphill battle, but not an insurmountable one.

In an interview, the young politician exuded confidence that the battles he has fought within the BCP to ultimately win the youth league presidency have taught him a lot of lessons.
