Lesotho's in southern Africa.

It's one of the world's poorest countries, but people there want the situation to improve.

This was very clear in the country's recent elections on 7th October.

Many young people are unemployed and people aren't satisfied with the government.

They want change.

Lesotho has experienced 10 years of bad governments, none of them received big support, and they changed very often.

People don't trust the government anymore.

Some don't see the value in voting.

Local millionaire businessman Sam Matekane hopes to encourage people to vote.

He's started a new party named 'Revolution for Prosperity' (RFP).

Voters want someone to change the situation.

There are 120 seats in Lesotho's parliament, and Matekane's won a majority of the seats, which means his RFP party will form the next government.

People who were pleased with this result celebrated.

Matekane thanked the young people who voted for him.
