- W9503722 abstract "Protest, unrest and insurrection have followed most prior elections In Lesotho. In 2007 the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy manipulated its mixed member electoral system to gain additional seats through proportional representation. Diplomatic intervention by SADC and mediation by the Lesotho Christian Council led to resolution of the dispute only shortly before the 2012 election. Despite belated enactment of electoral reforms and the last minute split in the ruling LCD, the election proceeded peacefully resulting in the formation of a new coalition government led by Motsoahae Thomas Thabane and his All Basotho Convention. Former Prime Minister Mosisili handed over power publicly and graciously to his bitter rivals. This paper argues that Lesotho's revised mixed member system provided a less complex and more decisive format that contributed to southern Africa's first post liberation transfer of power from a ruling party to its former opposition. It notes the critical role of the incumbent leader in facilitating the transfer of power, given the malign precedent set by Lesotho's incumbent government in 1970 which refused to transfer power to the electoral victors. The paper contends that Lesotho's electoral system provides a useful model for states with either all proportional or constituency based electoral systems." @default.
