The Democratic Congress is a political party in Lesotho that split from the Lesotho Congress for Democracy.
History
Before the 2012 election, the ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy suffered a split because of Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili's refusal to cede power.[1] He then founded the party in reference to the founder of the LCD Ntsu Mokhehle. The LCD Secretary-General Mothetjoa Metsing then moved to lead the LCD.[2]
Electoral performance
In its first election the party won a plurality of seats,[3] but failed to get a majority after the allotment of proportional seats. They attempted to form a coalition government but failed.
