General elections were held in Swaziland in November 1987, having originally been scheduled for 1988, but brought forward due to tensions in the country.^[1] The elections was held using the Tinkhundla system, in which voters elected members to an electoral college, who then selected 40 non-party candidates for the Parliament, whilst the King appointed a further ten.^[2] Unlike previous elections, all forty of the selected candidates were new to parliament.^[1]
