摘要

总的来说,尼日利亚目前共和国的政党受到内部民主危机的阻碍,从而削弱了其政治领导招聘职能。人民民主党(PDP)是这些尼日利亚政党缺乏内部民主的一个很好的例子。事实上,PDP是一个庞然大物。2015年的大选象征着大卫和歌利亚之间的较量。选举结果是PDP从执政党转变为在野党。本研究依据国家相对自治理论和二手资料得出结论:内部民主的缺失是PDP在2015年大选中表现不佳的必要条件,因此,内部民主危机与2015年选举结果之间存在关系。此外,文章指出,PDP的威权主义加深了尼日利亚内部民主的危机,前执政的PDP的这种威权主义特征反映了尼日利亚国家的威权主义特征,尼日利亚国家目前正在塑造执政的全进步大会(APC)。这一研究本质上是定性的、历史的和归纳的。

The ‘David and Goliath’ and 2015 Election Outcomes in Nigeria: From the Opposition to the Ruling Party
Generally, Nigerian political parties in the present republic have been hampered by crisis of internal democracy thus undermining their political leadership recruitment function. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a good example of one of these Nigerian political parties that lacks internal democracy. In fact, PDP was a leviathan. The 2015 Election symbolised a contest between David and Goliath. The electoral outcome is that PDP has transformed from a ruling party to an opposition party. The study, by relying on the theory of relative autonomy of the state and secondary sources, concludes that lack of internal democracy was a necessary condition for PDP’s poor performance in the 2015 General Elections, and thus, there is a relationship between crisis of internal democracy and 2015 electoral outcomes. Also, the article noted that PDP authoritarianism deepened crisis of internal democracy in Nigeria and that this authoritarian character of the former ruling PDP was a reflection of the authoritarian character of the Nigerian state, which is currently shaping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The study is essentially qualitative, historical and inductive.
