2026 Primaries Are Worse Than The 2022 Primaries - Amadi

The reason no lessons are learned is that there are often no real consequences for violating due process. Political actors do not internalize the cost of breaking the rules because they are rarely penalized for doing so. If candidates or parties lost elections for failing to follow fair and transparent procedures, they would be forced to learn from those mistakes. Unfortunately, a culture of what many describe as political banditry has emerged, where some believe they can disregard due process without consequences. When such behavior is rewarded rather than punished, it only encourages further violations and weakens democratic institutions.
