Botswana's President Ian Khama secured a new five-year term on Sunday, extending his rule over the world's largest diamond producer, after his governing BDP party swept to victory in a parliamentary election.
Khama's party extended its majority in parliament by capturing one more seat than before Saturday's election
"I'd like to congratulate the BDP, parliament members and councillors for winning the 2009 election, and also members of the opposition for giving us competition at the election," said Khama, addressing thousands of supporters clad in his party's red colours at a rally in a dusty football pitch in Gaborone.
