Clearly, in African conditions, democratization cannot be limited to multi-party elections. It has to address these vulnerabilities of the ordinary people who are unable to participation effectively in a democratic dispensation. By all indications, these vulnerabilities can only be addressed by social transformation, by massive social, cultural and economic upliftment of the poor in Africa. Without this there is no democracy.
