Significantly, the legacy of poor quality elections in 2007 and 2013 lives on. The picture looks significantly better when it comes to presidential term limits. To date, African presidents have come up against term limits 38 times. Put another way, of the 42 countries that feature term limits, so far they have only been overturned in 13. This represents a remarkable turnaround: In a continent known for all-powerful leaders who can operate without constraints, term limits are more likely to be respected than broken.
