Political Parties and Ideological Fluidity in Nigeria Since 1999 Till Date: Any Hope for Democratic Consolidation?
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The transition from all forms of authoritarianism to liberal democracy universally is anchored on participatory democracy so as to make life meaningful for a vast majority of the world population. Unarguably, there exists a symbiosis between political party and democratic consolidation. The articulation and aggregation of interests towards good governance fall within the purvey of political party. However, the ideological leaning of political parties occasioned by incessant carpet crossing by Nigerian politicians put to questioning the credentials of these parties to nurturing democracy. The paper examines the nexus between political party and democractic consolidation. The work attempts an historical appraisal of political parties. It dismisses the performance of political parties since 1999 to date. It concludes by making some useful recommendations. It relies on secondary source of data.
