Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi has conceded defeat in the general election.
The ruling Botswana Democratic Party, which has led the country since gaining independence from Britain in 1966, is currently in fourth position in the parliamentary elections.
President Masisi’s concession reflects political maturity and serves as a testament to the Southern African country’s democratic values.
The opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change’s candidate, Duma Boko, is poised to be elected as President.
Final results are expected later this Friday.
