                      Botswana President Wins Second Term

   by VOA News

   Botswana's ruling party has won Friday's parliamentary elections,
   giving President Ian Khama a second term.

   The Botswana Democratic Party won 29 out of the 57 parliamentary seats
   contested.  A newly formed party, Umbrella for Democratic Change,
   finished second in the polls, becoming the official opposition with at
   least 12 seats.

   Khama is the son of Botswana's first president, Seretse Khama.

   The Botswana Democratic Party has ruled the country since independence
   from Britain.  It has a reputation as one of Africa's most stable
   democracies.
