ABSTRACT
Politicians develop extensive relations with supportive individuals and groups in order to be reelected. Clientelism’s electoral connection is a good looking glass through which one can understand how the society is networked politically. Politicians in a democratic setting engage in recurring interaction with supportive individuals and groups. They have a basic instinct to selectively rely on groups and individuals who can help them to get elected over time.1 Also individuals and groups in a society nurture close ties with politicians in an attempt to get favors from the government or to avoid negative penalties from the public authority. Hence, analyzing the electoral linkage between politicians and supportive individuals and groups is one way to grasp the nature of clientele links in a country.
