Analysts, however, believe Lesotho’s insecurity – that give rise to the snap election putting Pakalitha Mosisili in the driver’s seat – is far from over.

Lesotho premier Pakalitha Mosisile says there’s no security problem in his country,

The problem was his predecessor, former Prime Minister Tom Thabane.

Analysts fear this confronational language indicates Mosisili hasn’t learned the lessons of the past.

They fear it might lead of another period of uncertainty in one of the poorest countries on the planet.

International observers hailed the early poll as peaceful, free and fair.
