ABSTRACT
Politics in developing countries remain a huge concern in terms of development actualization. The types of politics practiced in this part of the world (global South) tells the type of developmental progress countries make. This article on an analysis in relation to how political parties economically operate try to bring out things that underscore political parties activities focusing on ruling parties and how they manage in handling national economy that which will bring transparency and accountability in party politics that will manifest in the national platform. In doing this, this paper tries to explain how political parties should address and handle issues of financial concerns within political parties activities and if given the chance to govern the country how they can manifest the good parts of handling finances when it comes to public financial management. This article will try to articulate issues that will analyse clear political financial management alongside transparency and accountability within parties which could be easily seen in the three arms of government and other public offices when a political party is being mandated to serve as governing party.
This paper therefore, examines the extant role that the governing parties have played in many developing countries in influencing government policies through public finances in the sustenance of positive democratic governance and release options of sound political management for sustainable democratic growth.
