The status of political parties in Swaziland is not clearly defined. Political parties were banned in Swaziland in 1973 by King Sobhuza II and this proclamation has not been repealed. The 2005 Constitution does not mention political parties, but does guarantee freedom of association, and the African United Democratic Party was registered as a legal political party on the basis of this. King Mswati III is reported to have made contradictory statements regarding the status of political parties:
Chief Gija Dlamini of the Elections and Boundaries Commission stated that political parties were unlawful and that the freedom of association clause in the constitution did not include political parties. Attorney General Majahenkhaba Dlamini stated that parties were legal but not permitted to participate in elections.〔 There is no legislation in Swaziland governing registration, regulation, funding and financial control of political parties. Some members of the House of Assembly do however belong to parties, such as MP Marwick Khumalo who is Secretary General of Sive Siyinqaba. ==See also== *List of political parties in Swaziland *Politics of Swaziland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Political parties in Swaziland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
