Leading the campaign will be the Prime Minister, Mr. Pakalitha Mosisili, who is also leader of the party, according to acting executive secretary of the LCD, Mr. Palo Leteetee, who said the Prime Minister will be accompanied by members of the party's executive committee. It is expected that prior to the Prime Minister's address, representatives from each of the party's structures will have a go at encourages voters in the constituency to register their vote, he said.

Though the rally would be held under the auspices of the Lesotho Congress for Democracy, it is open to all Basotho interested in the promotion of democracy and development of the country, Mr. Leteetee told the Lesotho News Agency (LENA).

A similar rally was held at Ha Marakabei last week and was addressed by the deputy leader of the party, Mr. Lesao Lehohla.

The Thaba- Putsoa by-elections comes as a result of the death of the former LCD member of parliament for the constituency who died in September last year.
