The tension between President Mokgweetsi Masisi and former president Ian Khama remained unresolved. The uneasy relationship between the two leaders escalated as preparations for the 2019 general elections intensified, with Khama actively campaigning against his former party, the Botswana Democratic Party (bdp), with the aim of dislodging Masisi and his party, in support of his newly formed party, the Botswana Patriotic Front (bpf), and the opposition coalition Umbrella for Democratic Change (udc). Masisi and his party managed to ward off Khama’s intense opposition challenge and won elections but lost control of the Central District, where Khama is a paramount chief. Meanwhile, issues of corruption and money laundering continued. There was no shift in the country’s foreign policy or socioeconomic barriers.
