Lesotho: Thomas Thabane and his party on track to winning election – will likely set up coalition gov’t

The final results with the extra allocated seats are expected Wednesday. The major parties will then have 2 weeks to woo their smaller counterparts in the hope of forming a majority and with it, take control of the national assembly.

Observers from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) said laws and policies governing coalition governments in Lesotho needed to be reviewed. “We think this time around, whatever the outcome, the government should be better able to deal with the issues ahead,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, who headed the observer mission.
