We are happy with you Botswana, you have spoken
Congratulations Botswana ❤🇲🇿
Seretse Khama gave Africa the blueprint to succeed: Free markets, democracy, rule of law, social and political rights
Instead, they worship tyrants and Morons such as: Mugabe, Ibrahim traore, Isias Awferki and Goita
Congratulations Batswana,🇧🇼 congratulations to my Law Lecturer, Hon. Duma Boko. I am so happy for you all. Warm greetings and lots of love from your Tanzanian sister…🇹🇿
YOUTH MUST VOTE. VOTE AND VOTE IN NUMBERS. Africa's survival depends on it✊🏾
Zimbabwe and southafrica only ones remaining in southafrican
History for the very first time after independence the opposition has taken over government congratulations Botswana
Botswana is literally ahead of the United States in terms of peaceful transition of power. How embarrassing for the USA.
Manifesting this in Kenya
Do you suffer a result or a defeat
Well done Botswana,Malawi is coming behind
Two satanic world left Zanupf and frelimo
Wow this is being treated as a shock result around the world. Has there been long discontent with the government? Did this surprise Botswanans?
Namibia 🇳🇦 we can learn from Botswana and Senegal 🇸🇳
Yoh Well done Botswana 🇧🇼 👏🏾, Zambia 🇿🇲 is taking notes on one term presidents
😅😂😂😂😂😂It's lovely in Africa y Zimbabweans don't copy n go home to do right thing
We vote our mighty swapo, swapo never be a opposition party
The recent three general Elections results are no surprise for some of us – this is just long over due. The Political Dinosaurs are gradually loosing ground and relevance, for instance, just go and check in Lesotho, South Africa and Botsowana. "All thanks to the Agents of Change, long-live Agents of Change long-live – forward Progressive Movement forward".
We want a new president from another parties swapo we are done
Swapo Government will loose majority of seats yet the president will be Netumbo
Socialist take power. The Botswana miracle will be soon seen as a prequel to a communist nightmare.
You cant paint the same colour, just because one colour fitted the first narrative.
South Africas election result is predisposed to ots internal fracas, as ot is much of loss of popularity, but it must be know…that it lost some votes as a result.
In Namibias case, the ruling part sounds more unified, engaged and popular lately. This is mainly because of its unifying messagecto all its comrades and the people at large. There is more hope and faith on the ruling party SWAPo, than one could hopr on any of the opposition parties who have unsorted internal fiasco's, leading to key executive members fleeing posts and joining the ruling party. The other advantage the ruling party has, is that it has learnt from the schock of the last election where it lost signigicant votes, and thus now, it has embarked on centering its mandate on what the people want, than what the executive thinks it wants.
Lastly, all the other parties have male candidates, while SWAPO is the only stsnfing party that has a female prrsidential candidate. With a nation that a large number of its eligible voters as females, and a significant number looking forward to having a female president, the nation has propelled itself towards the realisation of such a dream.
Thus, an imward look into this signifiers would show the possibilities of the ruling party SWAPO winning this coming elections.
Congratulations His excellency DGB 💙💙💙
Congratulations Botswana 🎊🥳. Now that you have your sea legs of hiring and firing, for political hygeine remember “Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.”
We are ready to support The President of the Republic of Botswana His Excellency Duma Gideon Boko
It's absolutely fascinating that BDP lost so badly, it shows that the public had lost so much confidence that BDP is basically a shadow of itself in parliament and in local government. 😮
Congratulations Botswana 🇧🇼
Next to lose election in SADC,
MPLA Angola
ANC South Africa
Zanu PF Zimbabwe
FRELIMO Moçambique
Let the domino effect take its destiny.
No more independence political parties!!
We want REAL political parties ideologically with TV debates now!!!
So Nambia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe are in line. 2026 to 2028 will be interesting years to watch on the continent
2028 it will be Zimbabwe as well
I’m proud to know the election were fair.
I see it coming to South Africa. The country is slowly sliding back to the hands of Whites.
Thank you comrades for voting masisi and the BDP out.point no 1 is that masisi gave us as Batswana nothing.no 2 is that when he masisi was speaking to Batswana he was so disrespectful he thought that we as Batswana ate his kids.we had so much anger and the only way to sure our anger was to show masisi that we are not his people.thank you Batswana.
Shock to those outside…..Power to the people!!!
May I please urgently speak with Sophie Mokoena, I am a tv journalist working for One Africa TV-Futuremedia from Namibia and would love to engage on the topic of elections.
Masisi spent most of his time with Emerson Munangagwa at his farm instead of attending problems in his country
No one here is shocked 🇧🇼
Finally that dictator called Masisi who was harassing Ian Khama for no apparent reason is losing power that got him drunk & thought he was untouchable.
