Diamond-rich Botswana holds an election with new economic challenges for a long-ruling party
Botswana votes in a national election this week that will decide if the ruling party extends a 58-year stretch in power in a southern African country that is a leading diamond producer and often held up as one of the most stable and least corrupt democracies on the continent. President Mokgweetsi Masisi of the ruling Botswana Democratic Party, or BDP, is seeking a second and final term in office, although Wednesday's election isn't directly for president. While the BDP has dominated Botswanan politics since independence from Britain in 1966, this election comes amid new economic uncertainty for a nation that relies heavily on diamond mining.

Diamond-rich Botswana votes with President Masisi seeking second term
Botswana will hold a general election on Wednesday with President Mokgweetsi Masisi competing against three challengers for a second term in the diamond-rich southern African state. The poll could be competitive, analysts said, although a divided opposition gives the advantage to Masisi's Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which has ruled the country of 2.3 million people since its independence from Britain in 1966. Botswana has enjoyed stability and relative prosperity thanks to its diamond wealth and small population, which gets free healthcare and education.

The status of military aid from Kyiv’s chief international backer is dependent on who becomes president, as is any prospect for a cease-fire that could benefit Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is one of the most divisive issues of the Nov. 5 election: Former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, advocate very different views on how much support the U.S. should continue to give Ukraine.
