Constituency profile

In the 1965 and 1969 elections the constituency voted for the opposition BPP candidate, Kenneth Nkhwa. After its re-establishment in 2004, it has remained a generally marginal seat for the BDP, with BPP (later an UDC coalition member) as main challenger. In 2019 its MP Biggie Butale defected from the BDP to become president of the Botswana Patriotic Front, but he decisively lost the seat in the election of the same year. It was won by the opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change in the 2024 election amongst a strong national swing against the BDP. The constituency, predominantly rural, encompasses the following villages:[2]

  1. Masunga
  2. Vukwi
  3. Kalakamati
  4. Botalaote
  5. Toteng
  6. Mosojane
