Answer to Question #320266 in Political Science for Hope

Question

Define Botswana democracy

Answer 1

In Botswana, politics take place in the framework of parliamentary representative democratic republic. The country is formally a multiparty constitutional democracy, with elections being freely and fairly contested and has been held on schedule. Even though it is considered largely a stable democracy, the country has been dominated by a single party since independence. The president is indirectly elected by the National Assembly for a five-year term and is eligible for reelection. The vice president is appointed by the president and confirmed by the National Assembly. Botswana has a unicameral, 65-seat National Assembly. Voters directly elect 57 members to five-year terms, while 6 members are nominated by the president and approved by the National Assembly.
