Abstract

The candidacy of former corruption convicts in legislative elections reflects a paradox within contemporary electoral democracy. This study examines how democratic hypocrisy operates through electoral and party systems to reproduce political corruption and shape governance outcomes. Guided by Critical Legal Studies, this research adopts a critical and integrative legal approach, incorporating social, economic, and human rights perspectives in interpreting political rights for former corruption convicts. Within a context of interlegality, the study highlights how overlapping normative frameworks—human rights law, electoral regulations and political practices—interact and are strategically navigated by political actors. The findings reveal that democratic hypocrisy is sustained by two interrelated dynamics: regulatory fluctuations that reopen political access for former corruption offenders and weak party institutionalization that encourages pragmatic, electorally driven candidate recruitment. These conditions facilitate clientelistic networks and reinforce patronage-based political relations, enabling oligarchic and state capture within electoral processes. This interlegal configuration allows competing norms to be selectively interpreted, legitimizing the re-entry of actors with corruption records into formal political arenas. Consequently, legislative outputs tend to reflect oligarchic interests rather than public accountability. This condition signals a trajectory of democratic backsliding, in which formal democratic procedures persist while substantive democratic values are weakened. This study argues that democratic hypocrisy is rooted in plural and overlapping normative frameworks that enable strategic legal navigation and the reproduction of political elites, ultimately undermining the quality of governance and the protection of fundamental rights.
