At the heart of The Selectorate is a simple but urgent question: Who should decide who governs? Chidi Odinkalu argues that if democracy is to mean anything, it must be rooted in the will of the people, not the pronouncements of an elite judiciary. Through compelling storytelling and rigorous analysis, he makes the case for reclaiming electoral legitimacy from the hands of unelected power brokers. This book is a rallying cry for all who believe that democracy is worth defending and that it must be defended not just from politicians but from judges who wield unchecked power.
