The Boko cabinet is the current cabinet of Botswana, established on 1 November 2024. This cabinet is the 16th in Botswana's history and was formed following the 2024 general election. It marks the first time since independence in 1966 that the cabinet is not led by the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), ending the party's 58-year rule over Botswana.
Background
Following the 2024 election, a three-party alliance led by the Umbrella for Democratic Change secured a majority of 36 seats in the National Assembly of Botswana. The election saw significant losses for the BDP, which became the smallest party in the National Assembly. Former President Mokgweetsi Masisi conceded defeat on the morning of 1 November 2024 and later that day, President Boko was sworn in by Chief Justice Terence Rannowane.
Ministers
The ministers of the cabinet will be announced shortly after the opening of the 13th Parliament of Botswana.
