The moment was marked by a joint press conference where Boko commended the peaceful transition from the long-standing Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) to the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC).

The seamless shift in governance, he noted, is a powerful affirmation of Botswana's robust democracy.

Boko reflected on the profound nature of this change, stating, "This is the most defining moment in our nation's democratic journey. We have witnessed a ruling party, in power for nearly six decades, democratically replaced by a new vision for our future."

He praised the nation's ability to avoid the turmoil often associated with such transitions, highlighting Botswana's commitment to stability and the rule of law.
