Lesotho's Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili loses a confidence vote in Parliament, signaling a potential snap election. Defections from ruling-coalition lawmakers to the opposition have weakened Mosisili's support, leading to the motion of no confidence. The outcome of the vote will shape the political landscape in Lesotho, a country of strategic importance in terms of its economy and regional relationships. The potential election will test Mosisili's claim of grassroots support.
