election violence

Elections should serve as a peaceful means for resolving decision-making and political differences. However, they do not always work this way. Sometimes, they cause political violence. In particular, ethnically divided society is generally considered to be inclined to this dynamics. This document provides a comparative analysis of the 2007 Kenya elections in Zambia and the 2006 and 2011 elections. It first requested to deal with these incidents, and the existence of ethnic diversity inevitably brought about violence around election time.

In these 390 elections, it was found that massive violence before the election occurred in the 132 elections, and there was serious violence after the election after 91 elections. These categories represent voluntary and organized election violence by state or opposition candidates - the fundamental cause of tension is elections. Countries that have a higher level of judicial independence, such as Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Ghana, have few post-election violence. In the 2012 election in Ghana, Akufo-Ado submitted a petition to the Supreme Court of Ghana when Akufo-Ado reluctantly lost to the then President's current President John Dramani Mahama. That book criticizes election fraud and collusion between the election administration committee and the current political party. Even after losing in the suit, Akufo-Addo accepted the court's ruling and urged his supporters to do the same.

Election fraud is closely related to election violence in several respects, but the nature of this relationship varies depending on the type and timing of violence. Fraud and election violence often occurs in the same election. Fraud affects violence after the election as violence after the election is response to election results. Recognizing the possibility of injustice injustice, operations or beliefs can cause emotional reactions before the election, which can lead to occasional violence. But election fraud is not necessarily a strategy violence - a type of violence that needs to be organized and planned - but an accompanying strategy. Politicians winning at every sacrifice, including threats to influence the use of violence and voting, often use fraud to win. Strategic violence rarely occurs in Senegal's elections, but fraud, manipulation, and accidental violence often arise.
