Gaborone Bonnington North is a constituency in Gaborone represented in the National Assembly of Botswana since 2024 by the assistant Minister for State President, Maipelo Mophuting of the Umbrella for Democratic Change.[1] With an area of 23 km2, Gaborone Bonnington North is the second smallest constituency of Botswana after Gaborone Bonnington South.[2]
