The Lesotho's MMP system combines the FPTP system with the proportional representation (PR) system. This arrangement provides for a National Assembly of 120 members, where 80 members are elected using FPTP in 80 constituencies and the remaining 40 members come from party lists using PR. The PR component uses closed party lists.
