IEC Applauds University of Botswana Political Science Society for Rare Feat
Twelve members of the University of Botswana Political Science Society (UBPSS) on May 7, 2021 received certificates of appreciation from the Independent Electoral Independent Commission (IEC) for playing a major role in the 2019 national elections observer mission.
A first for the University of Botswana as well as the country, never before have students taken part in election observer missions since the country’s first elections in 1965.
“This is a momentous occasion in the history of elections in Botswana because it is for the first time that certificates have been awarded to a student observer mission. In fact it is also for the first time that we have had a student observer mission,” observed IEC Acting Secretary, Ms Doreen Serumula.
