The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Electoral Advisory Council is in Lesotho on a Post-Election Review Mission to assess the country’s compliance with regional principles governing democratic elections.
The mission, led by Judge Ticheme Dlamini, is tasked with evaluating the electoral process and compiling a report to be submitted to the chairperson of SADC’s Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Affairs.
Dlamini says the review will focus on whether the elections met established guidelines, as well as identifying areas for improvement.
The visit comes a year after SADC removed Lesotho from its Troika list of countries under special observation for political instability, signalling progress in the country’s governance and electoral processes.
