In a real sense, post-third wave democratisation was a transition to democracy after 1991. The character brought down authoritarian regimes such as one-party systems, military regimes, and the personalisation of power. The consequences led to the establishment of democratic governments in different political situations. The article argues that the democratic experience dictates the non-feasibility of elections during the transition process, as there are massive irregularities that marred the conduct of elections in different forms. This article contests the founding (first) elections that were conducted under the supervision of the military leaders. The outcome of the transition elections raised an issue about the quality of future democracy. This includes the socio-economic development that interfaces with the dividends of democracy. Therefore, post-third wave democratisation defines the new African politics. The methodology employed in this study includes qualitative focused on secondary data. The article submits that civilian-military relations are the new paradigm shift in African politics. Given the new approach, the researcher foresees that the politicians will deepen democracy in the two countries. However, military intervention in politics was a result of non-commitment to democratic principles in the past.The tradition became unending, and the countries that organised democracy-based unethical practices could witness military intervention or otherwise civil war that may obstruct the new democracies.
