Kanye South

Kanye South is a constituency in the Southern District represented in the National Assembly of Botswana since 2019 by Lemogang Kwape, a Democratic Member of Parliament and current Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Further to the completion of the 2022 Delimitation of Parliamentary constituencies, the seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes and will be renamed Kanye West, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.

Constituency profile
The seat has traditionally been a marginal seat for the BNF, consistently supporting it from its establishment until the BDP secured a landslide victory.
