Colonel Ramaena besieged the government and forced Prime Minister Lekhanya to resign. During Ramaena's two years in power, a new constitution restoring the powers of the Parliament was adopted. Multi-party elections were held on 27 March 1993, with the assistance of the Secretariat of the Commonwealth, at the request of the government.
