Anti-incumbency in Democracies

 

In 2024 Lok Sabha elections of India, the incumbent Government headed by Narendra Modi is facing antiincumbency. In 2014, Modi talked of Gujarat Model and questioned the incumbent Government. Today opposition is able to question him on many fronts. Modi could not develop an India Model of Development. Even to Gujarat, he has to transfer projects from Maharashtra to Gujarat and there were protests against it.

What is the nature of antiincumbency?

Democratic innovations after the post-democratic turn: between activation and empowerment

Marit Hammond

Pages 174-191 | Published online: 21 Apr 2020
