The snap election, follows a no confidence vote in Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili earlier this year. 



His biggest rival, is Thom Thabane, who was at the helm from 2012 to 2015. 



The elections are largely seen as a race between the two - with a coalition government again the likely end result.
