Christian Council of Lesotho has reportedly demanded that The Right Honorable Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili and his deputy Honorable  Mothetjoa Metsing sign a pledge to accept the outcome of the upcoming general elections. 

The mountain kingdom was set to go to the polls on June 3, nearly three months after Mosisili lost a confidence vote in parliament. 

Mosisili  the leader of  Democratic Congress (DC) party had headed a coalition government since a snap election in 2015 that was called in an effort to end the country's prolonged power struggles.

 At least 14 out of 30 registered political parties had already signed the pledge. 

The pledge was brokered by churches in Lesotho and supported by the United Nations.
