President Mokgweetsi Masisi has accepted defeat after Batswana voters rejected the country’s long-serving governing party at their October 30 polls.
Masisi’s party, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), has been in power since independence in 1966.
In a press conference, Masisi said: “I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process ahead of inauguration,” Masisi said in a press conference on Friday.
