Addressing officials of the Elections and Boundaries Commission(EBC) during a civic voter education held at Fonteyn, Mbabane on Saturday,the MultiStakeholder Forum(MSF)Treasurer General said he had nothing against the EBC,he praised the team for the good work they were doing in educating the public about elections.<\/p>\n

Eswatini will hold Parliamentary elections this year amid a political crisis,political parties are banned from participating in these elections.<\/p>\n
