Clientelism and Elections: A Study of Ghanaian Politicians' DiscoursesOpoku-Boamah, Adwoa 30 January 2024 (has links)
This thesis brings to light political dynamics related to clientelism and other forms of corruption in Ghanaian electoral campaigns from 2012 to 2023. Specifically, the study seeks to answer the research question: how do political actors of the two major political parties in Ghana –the NPP and NDC –debate and argue about clientelism in Ghana? To answer this question, it analyzes three 2012, 2016, and 2020 elections and alternations in power, while also considering the upcoming 2024 elections. Using Discourse Analysis and drawing on primary and secondary data collected in Ghanian media (YouTube videos of political campaigns; televised interviews given to local media; etc.), this study unravels the cultural, religious and historical imports of language in the Ghanaian context of clientelism, veering away from the traditional definition of clientelism. The study finds that leading political actors in Ghana produce three types of discourses when they talk about clientelism: discourses on food and clientelism; discourses on family, clan, ethnicity and clientelism; and discourses on clientelism, wrongdoings and promises of politicians. These discourses use metaphors, proverbs, songs, speeches and other cultural references.

No Change in Uruguay: The 1999 Presidential and Parliamentary ElectionsEspindola, Roberto January 2001 (has links)
No / The first round of Uruguay's presidential election on 31 October 1999 produced an unprecedented result. Tabaré Vázquez, candidate of the centre¿left coalition Encuentro Progresista¿Frente Amplio (EP¿FA), won a plurality of votes, but fell short of outright victory. Therefore, for the first time in a Uruguayan presidential contest, a second round was held, on 28 November 1999. This returned a no-change verdict, with the presidency remaining in the hands of the Partido Colorado (PC). Finally successful in his fifth attempt to become President, Jorge Batlle led a centre¿right coalition to victory over Vázquez, by 54.1% to 45.9%. The elections were also characterised by a very high turnout: 91.8% of the electorate went to the polls.
The success of EP¿FA in the first round led to frantic negotiations between traditional rivals on the right, the PC and the Partido Nacional (PN).1 The dealing and discussion continued right up to the date of the second round; finally the coalition was able to block Vázquez's path to the presidency.
Despite their ultimate defeat, these were the best results for the centre¿left since 1971. The EP¿FA won 40 out of 99 seats in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies. However, although the centre¿left Nuevo Espacio (NE) won four seats and could arrive at an understanding with EP¿FA, the right still controls the lower house with 33 PC and 22 PN deputies. The distribution of Senate seats is similar: the EP¿FA is the largest party, with 12 seats, but can be outvoted if the PC (10 seats) and PN (7 seats) combine. The NE won the single remaining seat of the 30-member Senate.
