Following factors are contributed to the plurist regimes in Africa:

1. Citizens in most African countries expressed their dissatisfaction with governments that were corrupt and not responsive to the needs of the people. 

2. All public organisations, like Rotary, Lions, League of Women Voters, professional organisationsand trade unions open voices of ordinary citizens and provided a powerful expression for democracy and responsive government throughout Africa. In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe underwent a transition to democratic government.

3. During the period, countries in East and South East Asia that had authoritarian governments also underwent a transition to democracy.

4. The global movements for Democracy provided strong encouragement to citizens in African countries who were working for more democratic systems in their countries. 

5. Both super powers helped to create and maintain some of the most  democratic governments in post-colonial Africa. When the Cold War ended around 1990, the United States and the Soviet Union no longer had any reason to support their forinel-allies. Consequently, authoritarian governments in Africa failed to resist internal forces for democratic change.

  After analysing the new situations in Africa, we find three scenarios which are emerged in last decades. First, the demand for pluralism is a democratic claim. Second, simultaneously, this demand is against the 75 state and is not linked to the struggle against neo-colonial dominance. Third, the multi-party formula is by no means a panacea, an end in itself and therefore, its mere practice is not expected to ensure democratic performance, social and economic development and an end to corruption.
