MPs defect to DC
MASERU-THE Alliance of Democrats (AD) is in turmoil after two MPs defected to the Democratic Congress (DC) party yesterday.
Mokherane Tsatsanyane, the Stadium Area MP, crossed the floor with Tele’s Mothepu Mahapa. They were welcomed by throngs of DC followers.
Tsatsanyane defected from the All Basotho Convention (ABC) to the AD in June last year.
Back then he said he was unhappy that the ABC’s executive committee had disrespected the party leader and former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane.
This time he claims he is leaving because the AD refused to register him and his supporters as subscription paying members.
