"Through electoral violence, power is exercised and wealth amassed. Democracy is distorted.In many African countries, violence before, during and after elections has become a regrettable norm rather than the exception.

Politicians, parliamentarians, peace practitioners and academics will benefit from their timely and incisive insights."Prof. Anthoni at University of Witswatersrand, South Africa
