The African kingdom of eSwatini,formerly known as Swaziland, has gone to the polls that critics describe as a sham but supporters say are a unique blend of tradition and politics.
More than 5 lakh registered voters will elect 55 parliamentarians to the House of Assembly on Friday Sep 21/09/2018
Political parties, however, are banned from the election.
King Mswati III, eSwatini's powerful monarch, will
appoint the remaining 10 to make up the lower house of 65
representatives. The elected MPs will then choose 10 senators for the
upper house, while the king will select 20 more.
