Succession: BNP at war
THE Basotho National Party (BNP) leader Thesele ’Maseribane’s time at the helm of the party is up, according to the constitution. His two terms end this year. Under the party’s constitution, ’Maseribane will be barred from standing in elections. His looming departure has now triggered a fierce jostling among those seeking to take over the leadership of the party.
’Maseribane was elected for a second and final term on June 12, 2016 but some say his time expires on March 26. They want ’Maseribane to go soon while others want him to hang on for a while.
