Politics
According to the independence constitution of September 30, 1966 (modified), Botswana is a presidential republic. The head of state, head of government and commander in chief of the armed forces is the president (elected by parliament; term of office limited to a total of 10 years). The candidate who has more than half of the votes of the MPs is elected for 5 years. The President appoints the Vice-President and the members of the Cabinet, which is responsible to Parliament. The legislature lies with the National Assembly, which has to consult with the regional chamber (35 members) in individual cases. The National Assembly has had: 57 members elected by majority for 5 years, 4 members elected by parliament as well as the president and the (non-voting) attorney-general ex officio.
Parties
The leading party is the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). The Botswana People’s Party (BPP), Botswana National Front (BNF) and Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD) are linked in the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC). Another opposition party is the Botswana Congress Party (BCP).

The country is administratively divided into 10 districts and 6 cities.
Law
There is one magistrate court per district. Above it are the Court of Appeal and the High Court in Lobatse. There are also traditional dishes at the local level.
