For democratically elected governments, doesn't regime change occur when any sitting politician loses the next election to their oponent?

In my thinking regime change doesn't only refer to the complete collapse of the political system, just change in direction of the leaders.

If the legislature changes party, that party —-“the regime” if we can use that term—- will be unseated from power.
