Crisis can significantly impact political leadership by altering public perceptions and priorities. During times of crisis—be it economic downturns, natural disasters, or political scandals—leaders are often scrutinized for their decision-making and ability to respond effectively. Effective leadership during crises can bolster a leader's credibility, while perceived failures can lead to backlash and loss of support. Furthermore, crises may pave the way for political change, as they can expose systemic flaws or ignited public demand for reforms, reshaping the political landscape in the process.
