Kanye West (Botswana constituency)

Kanye West is a constituency of the National Assembly of Botswana in the Southern District represented by Victor Phologolo of the Umbrella for Democratic Change since November 2024.

Kanye West replaces Kanye South, which had a population of 40,907 at its dissolution and an area of 1,478 km². Members of Kanye South argued that poor infrastructure made it hard to traverse the district and larger villages were being favored over small ones. Four solutions were proposed: adjust the borders of Kanye South, divide Kanye North and Kanye South into three constituencies, expand and then split Kanye South, or rename Kanye South to Ngwaketse. The Delimitation Commission decided on the first option, changing the boundaries of Kanye South and renaming it Kanye West.^[1] The constituency, predominantly rural and anchored around parts of Kanye encompasses the following localities:^[1]

1. Western part of Kanye
2. Selokolela
3. Gasita
4. Lorolwane
