[Document] Mo Ibrahim Foundation Insights on Africa’s 2024 Election Trends

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation released a new research brief Reviewing Africa’s 2024 Election Year, providing a review of the 2024 Africa election year and a new perspective on the data and narratives, based on the latest Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG).

The document is research in the following topics:
Election Trends in 2024: Out of 17 scheduled elections in Africa, 13 were held. Notable outcomes include democratic power transfers in Botswana, Ghana, Mauritius, and Senegal, signifying a shift in political landscapes.
Governance Deteriorations: Governance performance declined in most election countries between 2014 and 2023, particularly in critical areas like participation, rights, and inclusion. Security and rule of law were also significantly impacted.
Participation and Civil Society Challenges: Participation levels dropped in 14 out of 17 countries, with indicators like political pluralism and civil society space shrinking significantly, especially in nations like Tunisia and Burkina Faso.
Media Freedom and Rights: Media freedom eroded in 15 of the 17 election countries between 2021 and 2023, with severe declines in Burkina Faso, Tunisia, and Senegal, alongside broader deteriorations in rights and democratic measures.
Positive Democratic Shifts: Despite challenges, democratic gains included increased political alternance, with opposition victories driving governance changes in several countries, reflecting citizens’ demands for accountability and reform.

On Mauritius the reports says:-

Mauritius: ruling party MSM suffers landslide defeat Mauritius’ ruling party was toppled in what was described as an electoral wipe out. The opposition party Alliance for Change (AOC) won 60 of 64 parliamentary seats, led by their leader and now appointed Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam.

Similarly to Botswana, the incumbent leader, Pravind Jugnauth, accepted defeat even before all votes were counted. The electorate expressed varied reasonings for their dissatisfaction with the former government, mainly corruption and the rising cost of living.

According to the 2024 IIAG, Rights (-18.1) is the most declined sub-category between 2014 and 2023 for the country followed by Participation (-7.9) and Public Administration (-6.1).

The most declined indicator is Protection against Discrimination (-44.5) followed by Public Perception of Health Provision (-29.9), Public Perception of Infrastructure (-25.6) and Public Perception of Economic Opportunities (-24.4).
