BCP and other opposition leaders were arrested, opposition parties were banned, and the constitution and parliament were suspended.
A second attempt by senior members of the BCP to oust Ntsu Mokhehle from leadership of the party prompted a constitutional crisis in June 1997, and the creation by Mokhehle of a new political party, the LesothoCongress for Democracy (LCD).
