Ngami is a constituency in the North-West District represented in the National Assembly of Botswana.
Ngami is one of the few constituencies created for the inaugural National Assembly elections in 1965 that has kept its name since then. From 1965 until the 2000s, Ngami was a safe seat for the BDP. The seat became more competitive from 2004 and in 2009 Goyamang Habano from the BAM (later merged with the BCP) was elected as the first non-BDP MP in the constituency. The BDP narrowly regained the constituency in 2014 by 48 votes from the BCP. In 2019, after the BCP joined the UDC, it regained the seat in the context of an opposition sweep in the North-West District. The constituency, predominantly rural, encompasses the following villages: [2]
