Thomas Thabane, new Prime Minister of Lesotho
The new Prime Minister of Lesotho, Mr. Thomas Thabane, on Friday took the oath of office as the head of a coalition government, two days after the murder of his estranged wife .
Thabane’s All Basotho Convention (ABC) party won snap elections on June 3, but failed to get an outright majority, leading it to negotiate joint rule with the Alliance of Democrats (AD), Basotho National Party (BNP) and Reformed Congress of Lesotho (RCL ) .
