 In response to this political threat and to growing popular calls for greater accountability within government, the king and the prime minister initiated an ongoing national debate on the constitutional and political future of Swaziland.This debate produced a handful of political reforms, approved by the king, including direct and indirect voting, in the 1993 national elections.In this election, voters were registered, the constituencies were increased from 50 to 55 and the election was judged as free and fair.
