Lesotho's opposition shifts focus to deputy speaker, as plan to oust prime minister stalls

POLITICS

Lesotho opposition parties, undeterred by the stalling of their motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Samuel Matekane through a court challenge, are now set to push for another motion against the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Tsepang Mosene. 

The opposition party's latest manoeuvre is intended to ensure that Mosene, who is a member of the Movement for Economic Change (MEC), which is an ally of Matekane’s party, Revolution for Prosperity (RFP), is found nowhere in Parliament to sabotage their plans to remove Matekane.
