Undemocratic Practices

The erosion of democratic values and institutions threatens the foundation of our republic. Suppression of dissent, concentration of power, and weakening of democratic institutions are serious concerns.

**Key Issues:** • Suppression of free speech and dissent • Weakening of democratic institutions • Concentration of power in few hands • Electoral malpractices • Lack of accountability in governance

**Root Causes:** Political patronage, weak institutional frameworks, inadequate protection of democratic rights, and lack of civic participation have contributed to this challenge.

**Our Solution:** We will strengthen democratic institutions, protect fundamental rights, promote civic participation, and ensure accountability in governance.
