1. What specific current event that reminds you of the concepts of politics and
governance (national or local event)?
Answer
The election in May 2022 is the current event that makes me think of political and
governing principles. The analysis of politics in developing nations, particularly
the analysis of democratization and, more specifically, the consolidation of
democratic political countries, depends heavily on political parties and elections.

of the people and gives them the power to participate in decision-making,
especially in elections — is crucial.
2. Provide short information on that event and discuss how you can relate it to your
learning on this module.
Answer:
A significant chance to advance democracy and promote political liberalization is
presented by elections. Some civil liberties, such as the freedoms of speech,

Good governance is therefore practiced and relevant in this module's study.
