We stand with Basotho

The snap election became necessary after the current PM, Pakalitha Mosisili, responded to a March vote of no confidence by dissolving Parliament. Mosisili has come under increasing pressure from opposition groups and even SADC leaders for greater security and political reforms in the wake of the crisis that has gripped Lesotho for several years now.

In many respects, Lesotho is symbolic of the fight for peace, democracy and good governance taking place generally in the SADC region and the African continent. A nation abundantly blessed with natural resources and peace loving people has never reached its economic potential due to national strife led primarily by political actors.
