Özet:

The last decade of the 20th century was characterized by a resurgence of multiparty in African. From 1960 to1990, African states were under the single party system introduced by the new elites who have the responsibility of the management of these states. For many years, single parties were ruling African States and brought dictatorship in the mode of governance. The result was negative and from 1990 another mode of governance called multiparty system appeared. This new system put the single party in a bad situation and opposition parties emerged in order to challenge the single party’s authority. To be visible in the political arena, the single party made changes and didn’t disappear. Despite the wave of democratic renewal in African countries, the former single party is still in front of the political stage and is still in power in some countries. The present study aims to study one the evolution of the single party system since it was installed after independence until the present days.
