Constituency profile
The constituency was created in 2002 following the dissolution of the Maun/Chobe constituency and its division in three (Chobe, Maun East and Maun West). It was originally much smaller and its territory was based almost entirely on the city of Maun. In 2004 and 2009 the constituency voted overwhelmingly for the BDP candidates, Ronald Ridge and Tawana Moremi. Moremi defected from the BDP in 2010 to join the Botswana Movement for Democracy, which later formed the Umbrella for Democratic Change coalition. In 2012 the constituency was expanded with surrounding rural areas of Maun East and Ngami.[1] Moremi was re-elected in 2014 as a UDC candidate. In 2019, the UDC candidate was Dumelang Saleshando, leader of the BCP, winning by a large margin.
The constituency encompasses the following locations:[2]
