The party that ruled Botswana throughout the country’s independence is about to lose the parliamentary elections for the first time.
According to the calculations of the news agency AFP, the preliminary results show that the three opposition parties will get more than half of the country’s 61-seat parliament. The left-wing UDC coalition, led by a human rights lawyer, would get the most seats Duma Boko.
The Botswana Democratic Party, which ruled the country, would have only one seat while the counting of votes was still in progress.
