National Progressive Party (Lesotho)

The National Progressive Party was a political party in Lesotho led by Peete Nkoebe Peete.

History The party was established in 1995 when Peete Nkoebe Peete, the deputy leader of the Basotho National Party (BNP), left the BNP following a dispute over the party's boycott of by-elections. In the 1998 general elections it received 0.5% of the vote, failing to win a seat. In the 2002 general elections the party increased its vote share to 0.7% and won one seat.
