The installation of Moeketsi Majoro as prime minister on 20 May 2020 was widely welcomed as providing a way out of the long-running political crisis which had resulted from the efforts of Tom Thabane, Majoro’s 80-year-old predecessor, to cling on to power in defiance of he and his wife being charged with murder, his losing support from within his All Basotho Convention (abc) party, and charges that he had manipulated the judiciary. The peaceful transfer of power, enabled by a vote in parliament, was consolidated by Majoro’s forging a coalition between the abc and the Democratic Congress (dc), whose leader, Mathibeli Mokhothu, became deputy prime minister.
