Third, the people who are supposed to help make democracy a success has turned out to be the ones who obstructed its viability. These are the political practitioners who have been unscrupulous, high-handed in behaviors, corrupt, immoral and unethical. Under the fledgling democracy, vote buying has become a common practice; corruption has become rampant; violation of the rule of law has been audaciously committed and abuse of power has not been uncommon. These self-styled, selfish, unprincipled, etc., political “animals” have been instrumental in destroying the sanctity of law and legitimacy of the democratic system. Politicians are a major group to be held responsible for the political mayhem that has plagued the political systemin operation for the past decades.
