The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) seeks a fifth term under President Mokgweetsi Masisi despite economic challenges from declining diamond demand.

The BDP faces a divided opposition, with the main challenge coming from the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) led by Duma Boko.

Voters express concerns about unemployment and wages, while the BDP promises to explore new revenue streams and diversify the economy.

The election will determine the parliament's makeup, which will later elect the president, with the BDP previously holding 38 out of 57 seats.
