New Prime Minister Is Appointed

On June 8, 2012, Tom Thabane assumed office as the new prime minister. He replaced Pakalitha Mosisili.

Thabane served in Mosisili's government from 1998 to 2006 and was a member of the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) party. However, in 2006, he split from the LCD and formed an opposition party, the All Basotho Convention. After the May 2012 parliamentary election, he formed a coalition with other parties and was appointed prime minister.
