Summary. What are the effects of corruption and clientelism perceptions on African political behaviour? In this research, I investigate the effects of corruption and clientelism perceptions on political behaviour –support for democracy, voting decisions, and protest participation. First, I analyse how corruption tolerance affects these political behaviours. Some citizens are aware of corruption but choose to tolerate it. How does this tolerance for corruption influences their political conduct? The study hypothesises that individuals' tolerance of corruption practices decreases their willingness to vote in elections and protests. The research subsequently analyses how voting buying perception also influences these political behaviours. The study uses logistic and instrumental regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between corruption tolerance and vote-buying perception on the main dependent variables. The findings corroborate the expectation and demonstrate substantial robustness to various model specifications using rounds 3 and 5 of the Afrobarometer data for Sub-Saharan African countries. The results in the instrumental variable regression also show that even after introducing the instrument, the argument advance in the research was still valid.
