[00:00:00]elections of 2024 over 11 million registered voters did not come out and actually cast their ballots. And that makes you wonder if they registered to vote and then didn't do it, what is happening there? Then of course you have to look at the decrease in voter turnout all the way from the 1999 elections of 89.3% to 2024 down to 58.6%. How do we define political disillusionment?

[00:00:27]Yes, I think that's a very important question. So, political disillusionment has to do with voters not feeling that the the system or the political system is delivering A what it promised and two is serving any of its needs. Because when people are asked why are you not why do why are you not intending on voting? They do not cite administrative barriers or in the main, they mostly cite political disillusionment. And that political disillusionment can be seen with dissatisfaction with some of the core service delivery issue.
