Lobatse is a constituency represented in the National Assembly of Botswana.




Constituency profile


The constituency was created for the 1994 elections, in the context of Botswana's increasing urbanization, with the division of Lobatse/Barolong into two proper constituencies. The constituency includes the city of Lobatse and its surrounding rural area. From its creation until 2014 (when BDP won it), Lobatse was a safe seat for the BNF. In 2009 MP Nehemiah Modubule (former Leader of the Opposition and originally from the BNF), ran as an independent and was re-elected, the only time any politician has been elected to the Parliament of Botswana as an independent. The constituency has historically been a fertile site for minority third parties and independents, and since its creation has rarely been contested by fewer than five candidates.
