Political instability refers to a situation where there is a significant risk that the government in power will be overthrown or replaced through illegal means, such as a coup d'etat, or through a constitutional process, such as an election. This can manifest in many ways, including civil unrest, violent protests, and a breakdown of law and order. Political instability can have severe consequences for a country, including economic downturns and social upheaval. Factors that contribute to political instability include poverty, inequality, ethnic or religious tensions, and a lack of democratic institutions or traditions.
