"Political succession" involves the process through which political power is transferred from one leader or government to another. This transition can occur through various means, including elections, appointments, or succession laws. Successful political succession is critical for maintaining stability within a state, ensuring continuity of governance, and minimizing conflicts. Clear protocols and laws regarding succession help prevent power struggles and turmoil. In democracies, transparent and regular succession through elections is essential for legitimacy and public trust in the political system.
