In cases as varied as Hungary, Nicaragua, and Benin, democracies are increasingly eroding at the hands of democratically elected incumbents, who seize control by slowly chipping away at democratic institutions. Our research shows that the origins of these elected strongmen lie in the personalist nature of the parties that bring them to power. Using original data capturing levels of personalism in the parties of democratically elected leaders from 1991 to 2020, we find that ruling party personalism opens the door for leaders to erode both horizontal and vertical constraints to their rule, ultimately leading to democratic decline. Because elites in personalist parties lack the incentive and capacity to push back against incumbent efforts to consolidate power, they open the door for democratic deterioration from within. Our findings have clear implications for the future of a number of today's democracies where the threat of personalist politics looms, ranging from El Salvador under Bukele to the United States under Trump.
