Between the street and the state: Legislative behaviour under protest and executive pressure in Kenya’s 2024 Finance Bill
Previous studies have documented that legislative behaviour in Africa is shaped by a combination of executive, partisan, and constituency incentives, but instances where these pressures sharply diverge are rare. The 2024 Finance Bill in Kenya represents one such critical juncture, where parliamentarians were caught between historic public outrage and unyielding institutional demands. Drawing on an original dataset of parliamentary speeches and vo…
Ethnic parties and policy coalitions: Legislative position-taking in Africa
This study examines whether and how political parties and pre-electoral coalitions structure legislative position-taking in a weak-party legislature, drawing on evidence from Kenya’s 11th Parliament (2013–2017). We argue that where parties are weakly institutionalised, fragmented, and organised around ethno-regional constituencies, MPs align their legislative speech with coalition blocs rather than with individual parties. Coalitions provide more…
Sectoral Interests and Regional Bloc Voting in African Countries
This paper contributes to a new line of research on interest-based and policy determinants of electoral cleavages that are visible at the national level in African presidential contests since the 1990s. Using constituency-level electoral data, we identify persistent patterns of regional clustering in the presidential vote in the last several election rounds in Kenya, Malawi, and Zambia, underscoring both the persistence of these regional clusters…
The Effect of Violent Extremism on Local Conflicts and Vice Versa: Differences and Similarities among Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger
Research on violent extremism in Africa argues that jihadi insurgents exploit inter-ethnic cleavages and local grievances in order to recruit and gain support from the region because such political mobilisation leads to an escalation of clashes and violence among communal groups. On the other hand, local militias, especially those aided by governments, incite acts of anti-government terrorists. Using the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (AC…
Political accountability and legislative behavior in Africa: Evidence from the 2019 Kenyan Sugar Bill in the context of the political economy of sectoral policy
Recent research on African legislatures, once considered rarely autonomous, has found that some broad-scale mass movements, including pro-poor campaigns, hold legislators accountable. This article meanwhile examines the conditions under which narrow local constituency issues, shaping partisan differences, can hold relevant representatives and parties accountable while prioritizing over executive pressures and clientelist personal gains. I argue t…
The Winning Party Platform: Voter Perceptions of Party Positions and Voting in Urban Africa
Previous literature suggests that some African parties employ non-valence positional issues in their party platforms and that this practice is more prevalent in some countries than in others; however, no quantitative research has analysed the electoral effects of non-valenced campaigns. How do African voters perceive parties' policy positions? Who uses party platforms to choose candidates? Using data from an original survey experiment conducted i…
Why do they depend on the private sector of childcare in South Korea: Perspectives of the selected working mothers
Economic signals of ethnicity and voting in Africa: Analysis of the correlation between agricultural subsectors and ethnicity in Kenya
The existing literature has demonstrated that both ethnic and economic factors affect a vote decision in African democracies. I show that there is a meaningful interaction between the two cleavages in their influence on voting. In particular, I argue for political salience of agricultural subsectors that shape the electoral consequences of economic performance in the context where agricultural policy affects the livelihood of the majority populat…
Issue Ownership and Strategic Policy Choice in Multiparty Africa
While it is widely believed that democratic institutions are more responsive to citizens’ policy needs and interests, there has been little effort to examine how multiparty competition in consolidating democracies affects policy choices among competing economic interests. The questions of whether and how democracy influences such policy decisions tend to be ignored because many presume constituents in developing countries are only sensitive to re…

Sector-based vote choice: A new approach to explaining core and swing voters in Africa
This study examines economic components of the support base for each party in Ghana’s de facto two-party system. Most accounts of partisan voting in African democracies contend that some voters routinely support the same party because it rewards co-ethnics through patronage in the form of private and local community goods. A few recent studies have found that some voters vote retrospectively and sociotropically, rewarding or punishing the incumbe…
Party Strategy in Multidimensional Competition in Africa: The Example of Zambia
Just as voters have ethnic identities, they also have economic interests. Government policies create winners and losers, favoring some economic groups or sectors and disfavoring others. And to the extent that economic interests divide populations into different blocs as ethnic identities do, politicians have options for building coalitions. Using the example of Zambia, I show that the recipes for successful coalition building have varied from ele…
