The 26 May 2012 election was conducted in a credible and transparent manner and in accordance with the Constitution as well as the National Assembly Electoral Act (2011) of the Kingdom of Lesotho. This was the third election conducted under the Mixed Member Proportional System (MMP) in Lesotho. It represents an important step in the evolving electoral system of the Kingdom. As Lesotho consolidates its democracy no doubt further adjustments to its electoral model will be necessary.
