Factionalism significantly influences party politics in multiparty systems, leading to the emergence of diverse and often competing interests within a single party. As factions form around specific ideologies or goals, this can create both opportunities and challenges for coalition-building. While factionalism might enhance representation by giving voice to minority perspectives, it can also result in internal conflicts, weakening party unity. In extreme cases, fragmentation may lead to instability and reduced effectiveness in governance, complicating the ability to achieve common policy objectives.
