Selebi-Phikwe East is a constituency in Selebi-Phikwe represented in the National Assembly of Botswana since 2019 by Kgoborego Nkawana a BCP MP.
The constituency was created alongside Selebi-Phikwe West in 2002 for the 2004 election, when the Selebi-Phikwe constituency was divided into two. Nonofo Molefhi from the BDP won the constituency in 2004, 2009 and 2014, mostly due to the division of opposition votes between the BCP and the BNF (later the UDC). In 2019, after the BCP joined the UDC, its candidate Kgoborego Nkawana won the constituency. The constituency is completely urban and encompasses only the eastern part of the Selibe Phikwe Township.[1]
