In April 2023, the Independent Electoral Commission won a case in the Lesotho High Court to change the seat allocation after it had told the court that it had erroneously given seats to two opposition parties at the election. The ruling resulted in the Democratic Congress losing three proportional representation seats, while the Alliance of Democrats lost one PR seat; the Basotho National Party gained an additional PR seat, while the Lesotho People's Congress, United For Change, and the Basotho Patriotic Party all gained one seat each, which allowed the three parties to enter the National Assembly.
