Freedom of expression score in Lesotho 2000-2022
In 2022, Lesotho achieved a score of 69 in the Global Expression Report (GxR). This is the highest score the country has attained over the observed period. This is likely due to a change in government, whereby the Revolution for Prosperity (RFP), Alliance of Democrats (AD) and Movement for Economic Change (MEC) parties formed a coalition. GxR ranks countries based on the openness of the society, with a higher score being given to countries with more freedom of expression.
