Changes in leadership can significantly impact domestic policies, as new leaders often bring different ideologies, priorities, and strategies. A change in leadership may result from elections, resignations, or crises, leading to potential shifts in economic, social, and foreign policies. For instance, a newly elected leader may prioritize economic reform or health care over their predecessor's agendas. This transition also affects the political landscape, influencing party dynamics and how citizens perceive government effectiveness. Moreover, shifts in leadership can disrupt the continuity of established policies, creating opportunities for both progress and resistance to change.
