NOTE

POLITICAL PARTIES

Political parties are collective entities that organize competitions for political

offices. The members of a political party contest elections under a shared

label. In a narrow definition, a political party can be thought of as just the

group of candidates who run for office under a party label.

 

TYPES OF POLITICAL PARTIES

  1. Elitist/Cadre Parties: Members are made up of people with high social status and standing like intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, tycoons, traditional rulers.
  2. Mass Parties: Members are drawn from all sections of the society and their manifestoes are aimed at eradicating the sufferings of the masses.
  3. Broker Parties: Members are drawn from upper and lower classes of the society. They carry out policies of social justice for the interest of all.
  4. Missionary or Religious Parties: These are formed based on religious sentiments in order to win votes.
  5. Charismatic or personality parties: These are political parties formed or led by individuals with charisma e.g. U.P.N with late Chief Awolowo.
  6. Ideological Parties: These are political parties which are based on different political ideologies or beliefs which form the basis of existence of these parties. Example are- the communist party of Russia, Chinese Socialist Party, Fascist Party of Italy etc.
