National Assembly speaker Sephiri Motanyane said the ruling party had failed to specify if all the sides in the four-party coalition government had agreed to its dissolution.
Lesotho’s parliament on Friday temporarily blocked a move by the ruling party to quit a coalition government and form a new one in a bid to oust embattled premier Thomas Thabane.
“I have no problem with the formation of a new coalition but the biggest question is, what about the existing coalition?” Motanyane asked after reading the letter before parliament on Friday. “We have more than enough parliamentary seats to form a new government and we will amend our letter to indicate that the current coalition agreement has been terminated,” said ABC chairman Sam Rapapa.The ten parties already have 78 parliamentary seats between them.
If parliament does not rule in their favour, Letsosa said they would still “go ahead and form a new government because we have required parliamentary seats”.
