A major blunder by Swaziland's
Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) has meant some people were forced to
nominate candidates in the forthcoming primary election for a second time. The
EBC erroneously combined two election districts at the nominations during the
weekend of 3 to 4 August 2013. When the mistake was discovered the EBC ordered
the people of Njabulweni, near Lubhuku, in the Dvokodvweni Constituency, to
nominate again. The blunder is the latest in a long line of problems besetting
the election. Some people boycotted the election nomination completely in
protest that venues selected for the nominations were unsuitable. Elsewhere
equipment failures delayed the start of nominations.
