The thesis will conduct qualitative content analysis, with the help of theories like electoral democracy and Dahl's theory of polyarchal democracy, the thesis will be able to investigate the grade of democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Throughout the research process, I will analyse these theories to measure the grade of democracy in the country. The focus of this thesis is to determine whether the Democratic Republic of the Congo is indeed related to democratic principles. In addition, I introduced previous reports, documents and theories to measure the grade of democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I analysed the views on these reports and documents by identifying the elements that describe democratic countries and using them to measure the democratic hierarchy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Elements such as freedom of expression, fair and free election and many others. These elements are studied to give a conclusion on the measurement of democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Finally, I conclude my research by presenting measures related to country ́s democracy. However, the Democratic Republic of Congo have failed to establish contact with democratic principles which has led to a lower grade of democracy.
