WEEK TWO
\n<\/strong>HOW POPULAR ORGANIZATIONS ARE FORMED
\n<\/strong>Popular organizations are those organized groups whose membership cuts across different areas of the society with clearly defined objectives. An example is a political party. As an organized group, a political party is an association of people with similar political ideology whose major objective is to contest election and gain political power in order to obtain control of government.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The formation of political party can take the following forms:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    Socio-Cultural Organization<\/strong>: Many political parties started as cultural organizations. The Action Group (AG) started as a cultural association known as EgbeOmonOduduwa while the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) sprang up from a popular Northern cultural association calledJamiyyaMutanemArewa.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Religious Organizations<\/strong>: Political parties can be formed based on religious beliefs and doctrines. This is common in countries where a particular religion is predominant. Examples of such associations are Christian Democratic Union in Germany and Muslim League in Pakistan. Countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Israel are nations where political parties are formed based on religious beliefs.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Government in Power<\/strong>: The government in power may decide to form or create political parties for the country. Former president, General Ibrahim Babangida formed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and National Republican Convention (NRC) that contested the 1993 elections.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    LabourOrganizations<\/strong>: Political parties can transform into a political party that seeks to promote the interest of the organization. Labour Party (LP) in Nigeria and Workers’ Solidarity Party in Indonesia are examples.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n
    Constitution<\/strong>: The constitution defines the party system in any state. It also determines the requirements for the formation of any party. There are three major types of party system: One-party, Two-party and Multi-party system.\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
