In an interview with Mmegi, Dow shared: "At least we are now six women MPs against 61 men. Three women won general elections, and an additional three were nominated by the President. This is progress, but not enough. People must recognise that women are capable and can contribute to meaningful change. However, we need more women in Parliament." She emphasised her goal of uniting female MPs to speak as one on issues impacting women. Dow also committed to using her experience to mentor the newer female MPs, noting that only her and Bogolo Kenewendo have prior parliamentary experience.
Additionally, Dow urged the ruling Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) party to secure political funding to increase female representation in the 2029 General Election. She pointed out that the current low numbers of elected women result from insufficient support at both societal and party levels for women pursuing council and parliamentary seats. Dow emphasised the importance of women supporting each other and encouraged understanding of its value. When asked about the readiness of young MP Lesego Chombo for the challenging parliamentary environment, Dow responded: “We will support her. Parliament needs youth, and we should welcome their involvement, not deter it." Dow praised Chombo's potential and shared that she, as a lawyer, is fully capable of adapting and succeeding with guidance, as many others have before her.
Speaking for herself during interview by different media houses, Chombo said: “I believe I am capable just like what I did at Miss World. Many Batswana did not know me, but when they heard my presentation, I became their Lesego. I am willing to learn and one of things is to advocate for the youth, Batswana and those women who stay in rural areas. I will be their voice.” However, the opposition leader Dumelang Saleshando said he is unhappy with the way parliamentary nomination was done as the UDC was once an opposition and they both believed that it should be done through consultation. “The UDC can do better. We have been asking them that we should meet but they never responded to us. As the BCP, we were notified about the appointment a day before election day. That was a short time for us to submit our names. This is what we have been criticising Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) for,” he said.
