As EBC we would like to urge the entire electorate turn deaf ears to any calls of shunning the national elections, as this is their opportunit­y to have a say in what kind of government, they want, democratic­ally,” Bhembe said.

The Parliament of Eswatini is bicameral consisting of a lower chamber and an upper. Some of the members of both chambers are elected, while the rest are appointed by the King and election is by a secret ballot which means it is only the voter who knows whom had been voted for.

Last week, EBC advised the entire electorate in the country of Eswatini to refrain from malpractic­es and corruption as the national elections, progresses.

Bhembe has the entity is very much committed in riding out all malpractic­es.

The people argued that women had little chances of fulfilling their mandates in the constituen­cies as they have to submit to their husbands first.

This, the people felt it made it difficult for the women MPs from successful­ly carrying out their mandates.
