In a show of support for Botswana's new leadership, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Duma Boko on his election as the country’s president. Modi took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his sentiments, stating, "Congratulations Duma Boko on your election as the President of Botswana. Best wishes for a successful tenure. Look forward to working closely with you to further strengthen our bilateral ties." Boko was inaugurated in a ceremony on November 2, presided over by Chief Justice Terrence Rannowane, after a significant victory in the elections held on October 31. The 54-year-old leader of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) replaces Mokgweetsi Masisi, who conceded defeat following the historic loss of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) after nearly six decades in power. Botswana: World’s Second Biggest 2,492-Carat Diamond Uncovered at Karowe Mine, Says Government.
