| description |
The 2015 elections in Suriname marked a
significant change since the first general
and free elections in 1949. The electoral re-
sults indicate a shift in both the electoral
and political power that went at the cost of
the traditional mono-ethnic parties. Suriname
held nine elections from 1949 - 1977
and seven elections in the post military period
(1987-2010). In the post military period
The Front, a coalition 0f mainly traditional
mono-ethnic political parties, won four of
the seven elections. However, this could
not prevent that their political power base
as well as their electoral share eroded. The
main argument in this article is that initially
ethnic party affiliation resulted in electoral
hegemony 0f the traditional mono-ethnic
parties. This hegemony ended in 2015 when
the National Democratic Party (NDP), led
by the former of the military regime
(1980-1987), won 26 0f the 51 parliamentary
seats. In addition to the role of the changed
demographic structure, the defeat of
the mono-ethnic parties is explained by the
strong emphasis on ethnicity and juridical-
political issues after the military regime
(1980-1987) while neglecting the socio-economic
living conditions. |
