Voters in Africa's tiny mountain kingdom of Swaziland began casting ballots Friday for a new parliament, in an election dismissed by critics as a rubber stamp for King Mswati III's absolute rule.
The 45-year-old head of sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarchy holds ultimate sway over the government, can veto new laws, dissolve parliament and may not be sued or charged.
Days before the poll, he chose an 18-year-old to serve as his 14th wife.
