Information
The African United Democratic Party (UADP) is a political party in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) that advocates for the transition of the country from an absolute monarchy to a democratic constitutional monarchy.
The UADP supports social-liberal principles and favors a system where the monarch remains a traditional figurehead and head of state, while a Prime Minister acts as the head of government.
The UADP attempted to register as an official political party in mid-2006 following the adoption of a new constitution that guaranteed freedom of association, although political parties remained de facto banned by royal proclamation.
UADP operates within the context of Eswatini's political environment, which has been described as one of Africa's last absolute monarchies, where political parties have faced severe restrictions, and the King has made conflicting statements regarding their legality
