]]> Wearing his hat as regional mediator in Lesotho Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says he’s confident that preparations for the holding of a free and fair elections in the mountain kingdom remain on course and continue unabated.

He was speaking after a weekend shooting outside the Royal Palace in Maseru left a private security guard dead and two of Prime Minister Thomas Thabane’s bodyguards wounded.

 

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa welcomes the recent deployment of the SADC Electoral Advisory Council to Maseru ahead of elections on the 28th of February.

 

He says this will add impetus to current preparations and efforts by the Lesotho Electoral Commission to deliver credible, free and fair elections in which the people of Lesotho can express their democratic will.

 

The elections, two years early are aimed at restoring peace and stability in Lesotho after a failed coup at the end of August.
