Tefo Mapesela (born 25 April 1974) is a Mosotho accountant and politician who serves as the leader of the Basotho Patriotic Party.

He has been a proportional representation member of the National Assembly since April 2023, after previously serving as the legislator for Mokhotlong No.

[9] Less than one year, Mapesela was dismissed as a cabinet minister by Majoro in April 2021 due to infighting within the ABC party.

[11] Mapesela was a staunch critic of Majoro and tabled a motion of no confidence against his government in September 2021.

[13] Initially, the BPP did not win any proportional representation seats, however, after the election, the Independent Electoral Commission found that it had erroneously allocated PR seats to the Democratic Congress and the Alliance of Democrats to the detriment of the BPP and other small parties.
