Maseru, Sept 15 — Two weeks before local government elections, Basotho Action Party (BAP) factionalism is escalating, the party’s Director of Communications, Media and Marketing unveils.
Mr. Lepolesa Makutoane told the Agency on Friday that this is after the party’s executive through BAP Leader, Professor Nqosa Mahao presented a letter to Mr. Lebohang Thotanyana, the party’s Secretary General (SG) asking him to state reasons why he cannot step aside from the office of SG in order to attend disciplinary hearing.
Among others, the executive through Professor Mahao alleges that the SG is the patron of the said factionalism within the party and that he sabotages the party by refusing to sign some of the important documents that include IEC campaign funding accountability report for previous elections, which was meant to be re-submitted to the commission.
