Sotsha Dlamini was removed from his position as the prime minister of Eswatini, and Obed Dlamini assumed the role. The removal of Sotsha Dlamini from office marked a period of political transition within the country. His tenure had seen various socio-political dynamics, and the country's governance structure continued to evolve under the monarchy system.
This change in leadership was orchestrated within the broader context of Eswatini’s political framework, where the monarchy retains significant authority in decision-making processes. Sotsha Dlamini's dismissal was aligned with the executive powers vested in King Mswati III, who holds the constitutional right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister. This move was reflective of the monarchic control over governmental affairs, which is a defining characteristic of Eswatini’s political landscape.
Obed Dlamini’s appointment as the new prime minister was anticipated to bring in a different approach to addressing the country's administrative and development issues. The transition also indicated the dynamic nature of political roles in Eswatini, reflecting an ongoing adaptability within its governing institutions.
