Lesotho prime minister's party wins vote
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Complete results from Lesotho's parliamentary elections show the party of the longtime prime minister has won.
Results from all 80 races posted Tuesday on the Independent Electoral Commission's website show Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili's Democratic Congress with 41 seats, the simple majority needed to form a government, though it may need to form a coalition to consolidate power. The All Basotho Convention, the main opposition, had 26 seats.
Shortly before Saturday's vote in this nation of 2 million, Mosisili broke away from the Lesotho Congress for Democracy, which had been riven by an internal power struggle.
