	History of Lesotho
		A military government chaired by Justin Lekhanya[?] ruled Lesotho in coordination with King Moshoeshoe II and a civilian cabinet appointed by the King.
		Lekhanya accused those involved of undermining discipline within the armed forces, subverting existing authority, and causing an impasse on foreign policy that had been damaging to Lesotho's image abroad.
		Lekhanya announced the establishment of the National Constituent Assembly to formulate a new constitution for Lesotho with the aim of returning the country to democratic, civilian rule by June 1992.

		Lekhanya banned political parties, restored the role of the monarchy, and adopted a pro–South African stance.
		Increasing conflict between Lekhanya and King Moshoeshoe resulted in a political and legislative stalemate.
		Lekhanya invited Moshoeshoe to return, but he refused until reforms were implemented.

		Lekhanya quickly neutralized the challenge mounted by two of the King's cousins, whom he also charged with involvement in the murder of BNP ex-ministers.
		Lekhanya's clampdown on the youth league had smashed the party's radical wing, leaving the right predominant, but the right was divided between those who had favoured collaboration with Lekhanya and those who opposed the military's assumption of power.
		Lekhanya, who came into power in 1986 after a coup and ruled until he was deposed in 1991, did not reject the poll, but called for an independent audit.

		Major-General Justin Metsing Lekhanya, leader of the Basotholand National Party, told a press conference that his party would not stand by like passive observers while the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy "undertakes this action without parliamentary approval".
		Lekhanya, a former military ruler of the kingdom, appealed to the "mothers and fathers of the Basotho soldiers, who have not been consulted by the government, to resist this move".
		Lekhanya said payments by the Lesotho government to South Africa for the continued presence of its soldiers should stop immediately, adding that he could not fathom how a nation could be invaded at the request of one man and then be expected to pay for the invading force's expenses.

		Despite the declaration of international observers from the Commonwealth, the Organisation of African Unity and the South African Development Community (SADC) that the elections were transparent and credible, accusations of corruption, vote-rigging and intimidation came thick and fast from the main opposition Basotho National Party (BNP).
		Justin Lekhanya, the leader of the BNP, said independent auditors hired by his party had established 'distinct patterns' in voter behaviour that suggested the results had been manipulated.
		'This could not have happened naturally but indicates a strong possibility of pre-determined election results,' Lekhanya said, demanding a re-count of the ballots.
