Hundreds of thousands of voters had been expected at polling stations across Eswatini, but some pro-democracy activists are staying away.
The elections follow protests in 2021 and 2022, calling for democratic reform and the government says that the elections are an opportunity for peoples’ voices to be heard.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from the capital, Mbabane.
