When and why do the urban poor vote for opposition parties in
Africa's electoral democracies? The strategies used by political
parties to incorporate the urban poor into the political arena
provide a key answer to this question. This book explores and
defines the role of populism in Africa's urban centers and its
political outcomes. In particular, it examines how a populist
strategy offers greater differentiation from the multitude of
African parties that are defined solely by their leader's
personality, and greater policy congruence with those issues most
relevant to the lives of the urban poor. These arguments are
elaborated through a comparative analysis of Senegal and Zambia
based on surveys with informal sector workers and interviews with
slum dwellers and politicians. The book contributes significantly
to scholarship on opposition parties and elections in Africa, party
linkages, populism, and democratic consolidation.
