In reality, though it's a race between four major parties including the newly launched party Revolution for Prosperity (RFP). This is the first election the leaders of the four parties are contesting in, so whoever wins, Lesotho will have an untested prime minister. Some hope a new and untainted leader will help change the country's political fortunes. We spoke to the head of the African Union Election Observer Mission to Lesotho, Dr Speciosa Wandira Kazibwe, who is also Former Vice President of Uganda .
