PRIME Minister and All Basotho Convention (ABC) deputy leader Moeketsi Majoro has received a major boost in his quest to remain in power until next year’s general elections. This after Democratic Congress (DC) leader and Deputy Prime Minister Mathibeli Mokhothu restated his party’s commitment to upholding the two parties’ April 2020 coalition agreement which gave birth to the current Majoro-led governing coalition.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Dr Majoro at State House in Maseru yesterday, Mr Mokhothu said he had no intention of abandoning the government after the ABC’s split last week.

ALL Basotho Convention (ABC) secretary general, Lebohang Hlaele, says he never supported Nqosa Mahao’s election as deputy party leader.
Mr Hlaele said he and other ABC national executive committee (NEC) members were opposed to Prof Mahao’s election “from the word go” and only rallied behind him “on principle” after ABC leader and former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane attempted to oust him. Any such ouster would have been in defiance of the majority of ABC members’ decision to elect Prof Mahao to the second most powerful party job.
