ABSTRACT: In a nation, citizens do not perceive a political party in the same way.
Some view it negatively, whereas others hold positive attitudes towards it. It
is the same case for UPRONA political party in Burundi, in central Africa. This
research paper has been written around a problem which is summarized in this
initial question: “How do Ngozi town elites perceive UPRONA political party in
2021?” This
question was put because the researcher had the aim of discovering the extent
to which those elites appreciate UPRONA political party in 2021. In order to
reach that target, an answer was given to that initial question by resorting to
the quantitative methodology oriented towards the formulation of a closed questionnaire,
which was distributed to the respondents, and
which resulted in the obtaining of the following overall result in the framework of this investigation: In 2021, the
elites of Ngozi town have a negative perception towards UPRONA political
party at the rate of 73%, whereas they hold positive attitudes towards that
same political party at the rate of 27%.
