Autocracy in Democracy - Paperback

by Blessing Amu (Author)

Autocracy in Democracy is a fictional story that depicts a story of corruption and narcissism.

Democratic leaders seek power as a means to accumulate wealth and deliberately keep the masses in poverty. The leaders are allowed to sip from the seductive chalice of power in a political structure where the system allows "the winner takes all government." This system creates more room for leaders to have decision-making autonomy and lots of discretion. The leader becomes corrupt and uses his or her power to further his or her interests instead of working for the common good.

In this beautifully well-written novel, the author gives us a space for dialogue and carefully narrates how Mrs. Akosua Nimako, the fearless founder of the Victory People's Party, wanted to build an empire for herself and her daughters, but was thrown out by the masses. The book ends with a loud voice that the power of the masses matters. Autocracy in Democracy is the debut novel by Ms. Amu.
