Solution
Elections are the lifeline of a democracy. We need elections for the following reasons:
- It is the best way by which representatives of the people can be chosen and sent to legislatures.
- When there is a contest between different candidates for the same position, it gives the voters a greater choice of selection and makes it easy to elect candidates by casting their votes.
- Elections help the people to put a check on the activities of the government because political parties know that they will be ousted from power if they do not perform according to the expectations of the people.
- By contesting elections, either as members of a political party or as an independent candidate, people get a chance to form the government and make laws and policies for the welfare of their people and their country.
