FRANCE 24 spoke to Botswana's President Duma Gideon Boko, on the sidelines of the Africa Forward summit in Nairobi, Kenya. Boko, a Harvard-educated human rights lawyer, was elected in October 2024, ending the former governing party's six-decade rule. "Over the years, the opposition gained a lot of momentum," Boko recalled. "In 2024, it was clear that the message we were taking to the people was finding fertile ground". According to him, Botswana's democracy "has passed all the tests now".
