(Nico) Biegon, Japhet UCTD Coalition governments Kenya Electoral violence Human rights -- Africa Elections -- Africa Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2008. Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Prof. Nico Steytler, Faculty of Law, University of Western Cape, South Africa The resort to coalition governments following the disputed presidential elections in Kenya and Zimbabwe pioneers a new trend in unlocking political gridlock in Africa. This dissertation analyses this trend with a view to establishing its viability in guaranteeing sustainable peace and democracy. It is argued that the resort establishes a precedent in which incumbent presidents, upon losing elections, may refuse to vacate office in the hope that a power sharing agreement will be negotiated with opposition leaders. Concludes that while the resort to coalition government in the aftermath of a disputed election and electoral violence may rescue a country from disintegration, it is not a guarantee to sustainable peace and democracy http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2008-11-20T07:22:10Z 2008-11-20T07:22:10Z 2008 Mini Dissertation Biegon, J 2008, The advent of unholy alliances?
