Lesotho’s Prime Minister Thomas Thabane who has been accused of ceding power to his wife, is facing a motion of no confidence in a move that could break down the coalition government.
The motion was filed in parliament this week by a member of Thabane’s own ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC), raising the possibility he will call snap elections in the tiny mountainous southern African kingdom.
“We hereby move a motion that this honourable house has no confidence in a government of Lesotho led by the Prime Minister Thomas Motsoahe Thabane,” read a motion filed by ABC’s Motebang Koma and seconded by the main opposition Democratic Congress deputy leader, Motlalentoa Letsosa.
