Mohale FM ALL Basotho Convention (ABC) leader, Nkaku Kabi, has firmly refuted claims that his party is engaged in negotiations with the ruling Revolution for Prosperity (RFP) to join its coalition government.
Speculation arose after Mr Kabi was seen in conversation with Prime Minister Sam Matekane at Parliament this past week, fuelling assumptions that backdoor coalition talks were under way.
This after three RFP legislators ditched the party to join Basotho Action Party (BAP) and Democratic Congress (DC). However, Mr Kabi moved swiftly to dismiss the rumours, saying the encounter was purely incidental.
Mr Kabi also said he was not opposed in principle to engagement with the government — provided it was grounded in clear policy direction and genuine reform.
Meanwhile, RFP deputy spokesperson, Thabo Maretlane, also dismissed allegations that the RFP was lobbying the ABC to bolster the government’s numbers in Parliament.
