The King of Eswatini appoints 20, while the remaining ten are elected by the House of Assembly. Of these, at least eight of the 20 and at least five of the ten must be women. However, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union database, in 2008, there were 12 women senators instead of the minimum stipulated 13, and in 2013, there were only ten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Elections<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Election is by secret ballot in a first-past-the-post system of voting.

The first election under the new constitution took place in September 2008. The most recent election was held in September 2013. Gelane Zwane ran unopposed and was elected President of the Senate for the third consecutive time. Ngomuyayona Gamedze was chosen as Deputy President, also for the third consecutive time. Six of the King&#8217;s selections were members of his family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Later in 2013, the Senate banned Members of Parliament from divorcing while in office to &#8220;avoid embarrassing the king.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Senate Members<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Eswatini Senate has a total of 30 members \u2013 19 males and 11 females.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The process of entry into the chamber is by Appointment.\u00a0 10 members are appointed by the House of Assembly while 20 are appointed by the King.\u00a0 The House of Assembly constitutes itself into an electoral college for this purpose.\u00a0 The duration of the members\u2019 mandate is 5 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A member can be removed before the end of the tenure by the King in Council if convicted for an offence with a sentence not less than six months imprisonment.\u00a0 The chamber is convened by messages passed through the radio, telephone and by the Presiding Officers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The chamber can be dissolved according to Order No 1 of 1992 and by the King in Council (SNC).\u00a0 The Senate and the lower chamber complement each other.\u00a0 The Senate sits for at least 7 months in one year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Principal Officers<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Presiding Officer is called the President of the Senate.\u00a0 He has five years mandate as the Presiding Officer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He is appointed\/elected into the House at the same time with others, before being elected as the President.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Functions of the Presiding Officer<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He is an overall arbiter in the chamber which entails maintenance of order during debates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He draws the Agenda of the Senate\u2019s business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He calls and selects Speakers on the floor of the chamber.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The President of the Senate is the principal and head of the legislature.\u00a0 He must obtain the highest number of votes cast in the chamber among three contestants for his election.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He can be removed from office before the end of his tenure by the members of the chamber if a vote of no confidence is passed on him or if he is convicted for an offence exceeding an imprisonment term of 6 months.
