Abstract:
Parliamentary democrarcy in Lesotho has historically suffered setbacks. The first post-independence democratic experiment lasted for only five years since 1965 to 1970, when it was abandoned following Jonathan's electoral defeat and refusal to relinquish power to the winner, the late. Ntsu Mokhhle and leader of the opposition Basutoland Congress Party (BCP), subsequently suspending the constitution for 15 years. Reinstated in 1993 under the BCP government, parliament once again faced serious challenges.
