Goodhope-Mabule was a constituency in Botswana represented in the National Assembly. After the completion of the 2022 Delimitation of Parliamentary constituencies, the seat was subject to significant boundary changes and merged with Mmathethe-Molapowabojang to create Goodhope-Mmathethe, which was first contested at the 2024 general election.
Constituency profile The seat and its predecessors (Barolong and Lobatse/Barolong) have traditionally been strongholds for the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), consistently supporting it from their establishment in 1965 until the 2014 election. The constituency was renamed from Barolong to Goodhope-Mabule after the 2012 delimitation process ahead of the 2014 elections, where it saw modest boundary changes. The Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) notionally gained the seat from the BDP with a plurality in the 2014 election. However, in the 2019 election, the BDP reclaimed the seat, in alignment with the strong swings to the BDP in the southern parts of the country in that election. It is the southeasternmost constituency in the country, bordering South Africa. The predominantly rural constituency encompasses the following localities:
