United For Change is a political party in Lesotho. It was founded by Harvest FM founder 'Malichaba Lekhoaba in June 2020.[2] The party did not win a seat in the National Assembly at the 2022 general election, but gained a proportional representation (PR) seat in the Assembly after the Independent Electoral Commission won a case in the High Court to change the seat allocation in April 2023 after it had wrongly allocated seats to other parties at the election.[3] The party supports the governing coalition of the Revolution for Prosperity, the Movement for Economic Change and the Alliance of Democrats.[4]
