Introduction Democracy is just a philosophy that exists in writings in most countries and has never been implemented. Democracy is very essential in any country to presume progress. Most countries are still struggling on the issue of democracy in politics. Many arguments have been put forward supporting democratic regimes against dictatorial regimes and vice versa. Democracy is highly resisted by leaders who wish to retain power. Haiti is a Republic in Latin America which obtained independence in 19 th century. Haiti, however, has suffered dictatorship leadership for many years. From the survey conducted on Haiti concerning presidency leadership and elections, its clear that by 2002, Haiti was still struggling to be democratic.

Cape Verde on the other hand is seen to have developed democratically as compared to Haiti Republic. Democracy of cape Verde Republic is manifested by the elections fairness. From the electoral results from the previous elections in the last four electoral results years, there have equal chances of winning elections between the governing parties and opposition parties.
