Lesotho votes in election with political crisis still unresolved - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Lesotho citizens go to the polls on Friday.

The All Basotho Convention has run the country, with a population of 2.14 million, since 2017, but divisions within the party have given it two prime ministers over five years. “These elections will be highly contested and by the look of things the DC and RFP will be neck-and-neck,” said Lesotho political analyst Lefu Thaela. He added that DC are likely to get the most votes but if they don’t win an outright majority, the outgoing ABC will find themselves kingmakers.

In 2020, ABC leader Thomas Thabane stepped down as prime minister after being charged with the murder of his ex-wife.His successor – Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro – declared a state of emergency in August, after legislators failed to pass constitutional reforms to amend everything from the role of political parties, rules over floor-crossing in parliament, to the appointment of senior officials and the PM’s role.

As a gesture of closing colonial borders, Lesotho and Azania must be one.
