| dbo:abstract | General elections were held in Lesotho on 17 February 2007. They had originally been scheduled to be held in April or May 2007. In October 2006, Tom Thabane left the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) and formed a new party, the All Basotho Convention (ABC), and 17 other members of parliament joined him. This left the LCD with a narrow majority of 61 out of 120 seats. On the advice of Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili, King Letsie III dissolved parliament on November 24, 2006, and the election was scheduled for February 17, 2007. The bringing forward of the date caused dissatisfaction amongst the opposition, which expressed concern that it would not allow sufficient time for campaigning and electoral preparations. It was believed that the election was called early due to the possibility that there would be further defections from the LCD, depriving it of its majority. 80 constituency seats were up for election together with 40 seats allocated by proportional representation. The poll was monitored by the SADC and the American National Democratic Institute. The electoral commission announced late on 20 February that the LCD had won 61 out of the 80 constituency seats, while the ABC won 17. The Alliance of Congress Parties won one constituency seat, and the vote in Makhaleng was delayed because a candidate there had died. The National Independent Party, which is allied with the LCD, won 21 seats through proportional representation, and the Lesotho Workers' Party, which is allied with the ABC, won 10 seats through proportional representation. ABC leader Tom Thabane called the vote free, but not fair. An extended dispute has followed the election regarding the allocation of the seats based on proportional representation. Despite acknowledging that the LCD won the election, the ABC has argued that the proportional seats were not allocated correctly. The LCD's reluctance to engage in talks prompted Thabane on October 18, 2007 to threaten street protests to pressure the government into holding a new election "if they continue to fail to co-operate".

Con el visto bueno del primer ministro Pakalitha Mosisili, el rey Letsie III disolvió el parlamento el 24 de noviembre de 2006 fijando las elecciones para febrero. Originalmente, las elecciones debían haberse celebrado en abril o mayo de 2007. El adelanto electoral estaría justificado en la fragilidad de la mayoría gobernante, tras la escisión de 18 diputados, dirigidos por Tom Thabane, que en octubre de 2006 crearon un nuevo partido opositor, . Los resultados finales otorgaron 62 diputados al oficialista Congreso por la Democracia de Lesoto, lo que significó una nueva mayoría absoluta, pero sumamente ajustada en comparación a sus anteriores victorias, con tan solo tres escaños por encima de la mayoría simple.

Estas eleições estiveram inicialmente marcadas para Maio de 2007, e a antecipação da data causou insatisfação entre a oposição, a qual afirmou que o primeiro-ministro Pakalitha Mosisili só fizera isso para evitar as deserções no seu partido, o Congresso para a Democracia do Lesoto. Estavam em disputa 80 assentos a que se juntam mais 40 alocados à representação proporcional. O escrutínio foi monitorizado pela sul-africana Southern African Development Community (SADC) e pelo norte-americano National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. A comissão eleitoral anunciou os resultados das eleições no dia 20 de Fevereiro de 2007. Da análise dos dados ressalta que apesar de ter perdido 16 mandatos, o partido do primeiro-ministro conseguiu garantir a maioria absoluta no Parlamento. (pt) |
