Liberal centrist political party in Lesotho formed and founded in October 2006 by Tom Thabane. Party was created when eighteen former LCD MPs crossed the floor to join the ABC. Party formed government twice following the 2012 and 2017 elections, but following the departure of Tom Thabane as Prime Minister and infighting amongst party members, the party's support collapsed in the 2022 election.
