WAEC - Government (1991 - No. 40)
Which of the following is not common to both political parties and pressure groups in post-independence Nigeria?
constitutional provisions
threat of proscriptions by the government
arrest and detention of members
election/selection of leaders
harassment by the military government
Explanation
Political parties engage in the election/selection of leaders of the country, as they contest elections, nominate candidates and form governments. However, pressure groups do not participate in the electoral process in this way. Instead, they focus on influencing policies and lobbying those in power rather than directly selecting or electing leaders.
