There is no recent confirmation that Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi has conceded defeat in an election. However, Botswana did hold its general elections on October 30, 2024, with Masisi seeking a second term against a strengthened opposition coalition led by the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) and the Botswana Congress Party. These elections have been seen as a significant political moment for Botswana, particularly given long-standing tensions between Masisi and his predecessor, Ian Khama, who criticized Masisi’s leadership and aligned himself with the opposition.
Final election results have not yet been confirmed, and there’s no verified report of Masisi conceding. If you’re following this story, further updates on the election outcome will be expected soon. For now, the situation remains fluid as Botswana’s electoral process continues.
