Vote counting is underway in eSwatini, following yesterday's parliamentary elections in which political parties are banned from contesting.  Over 580,000 registered voters cast their ballots to choose 59 members of the lower house of parliament, which plays only an advisory role to the monarch.  Analysts say with most candidates loyal to the king, the election is unlikely to change the political climate. The results, to be announced within a few days, are seen as a foregone conclusion by the opposition, which called for a boycott of the vote. The People's United Democratic Movement - PUDEMO - is the largest opposition party in Eswatini and it's president is Mlungisi Makhanya
