Lesotho will go to the polls on February 28th 2015, more than two years earlier than scheduled, following the collapse in 2014 of the coalition government led by the prime minister, Thomas Thabane.
The most likely outcome is another unstable coalition government, although the fragmented political scene makes the election outcome difficult to predict.
