These African countries may have new presidents in 2019

Botswana

Following the successful handover of power from President Ian Khama to 
Mokgweetsi Masisi, Botswana will now head to the polls to choose between the latter and other candidates. 

Already Masisi has come under criticism for firing Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi, the minister for local government and rural development for announcing her bid for the country’s top seat under Botswana Democratic Party, of which they are members.  

Four of the country’s opposition parties have already formed a coalition that hopes to unseat the BDP  that has been in power for 52 years.
