Reports from Lesotho say King Letsie has agreed to dissolve parliament, with elections due to follow within 90 days.
It comes six days after Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili lost a confidence vote in parliament.
A number of defections by ruling-coalition lawmakers to the opposition had badly weakened support for Mr Mosisili.
His Democratic Congress came to power two years ago by uniting with smaller parties against Thomas Thabane’s All Basotho Congress.
The small landlocked country of 2 million people, which has been hit by several coups since independence from the UK in 1966, appears set for a period of political instability, analysts have said.
