Lesotho's Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili's Democratic Congress (DC) party, Deputy Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing's Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) and other coalition parties have entered into a pact to vote for one another.

This as the announcement of candidates for 80 constituencies for the 3rd of June snap election gets underway on Wednesday.

The three main partners in the governing coalition say they will jointly field one candidate per constituency for all their supporters to vote together.
