“Although vote counting is still ongoing, the numbers of parliament seats attained so far by the BDP obliges me to declare Mokgweetsi Masisi as the elected President of Botswana,” said Chief Justice Terrence Rannowane.
The 58-year-old Masisi has been on the frontline to combat corruption and also made it easier for small scale businesses to thrive in Botswana by reducing bureaucracy in setting up such businesses.
