Africa-Press – Eswatini. Eswatini Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini, the President of the Global Council for Political Renewal (GCPR) has called for diversity in political systems.
The PM was speaking in Cape Town-South Africa this week during the Council’s 4th Meeting, he described effective governance as inclusive, context-responsive, and grounded in the lived realities of societies.
“For too long, global governance frameworks have insisted on uniformity in a world that has never been uniform. In doing so, they have constrained innovation, delegitimised indigenous systems, and, in many cases, weakened states rather than strengthened them. Democracy does not have a single point of origin, nor a single destination. It evolves. It adapts. It reflects the histories, cultures and social contracts of its people. The integration of traditional leadership into governance models is not regression; it is recognition. It affirms that legitimacy flows from society itself, not from imported templates,” said the Prime Minister as quoted by Government online platforms.
On another note, the GCPR President stated that, across the regions and systems, democracy itself has been evolving.
“As has been aptly observed by President Duma Boko, democracy is becoming more democratic. This evolution reflects an increasing recognition that governance must be inclusive, context-responsive and grounded in the lived realities of societies,” he said.
