Final results of Lesotho polls reveal no clear winner

1756

The final results of southern African kingdom Lesotho’s general elections revealed no outright winner as the ruling All Basotho Congress party narrowly edged out its nearest rivals in the weekend poll, data on the website of country’s electoral commission showed on Wednesday.

Incumbent prime minister Thomas Thabane’s party won 40 constituencies, just three more than the Democratic Congress (DC,) as the close race tested the durability of a South Africa-brokered truce following an attempted coup by the army last August.
