According to the preliminary results of the 2022 Lesotho general election, the party received a plurality of seats in the country's parliament.[9][10][11] Previously, it had been suggested that the party could achieve great success in the elections.[12]
After the election results were announced, RFP leader Matekane announced that he would form a coalition with the Alliance of Democrats and the Movement for Economic Change.[13][14] The coalition will have 65 seats in the 120-seat National Assembly.
