Abstract

Abstract Election of contestants into positions in a civilized society is a product of choice among few or many alternatives. In order to make a good choice among the available alternatives a number of criteria must be considered. Several methods had been adopted in the past at local national and international scene but in most cases with prejudice and biasness. These had subsequently produced contentious results which eventually led to political violence and insecurity. This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision making algorithm which is based on Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP for quality leadership selection free of strive and violence. Alternative election contestants were considered the required qualities for a post were defined. Their evaluations were translated into reciprocal matrix in order to determine the priority vector while the validity of the designed paradigm was assessed using secondary data. Out of the three alternative election contestants under consideration the results of the designed paradigm show that the political aspirant Y is the best choice followed by aspirant X and aspirant Z. That is it can be inferred that aspirant Y is 3.87 times more preferable than choice Z and choice Y is 1.3 times more preferable than choice X. Also the obtained overall composite weight of 0.092 further proves that the result of the analysis is consistent. Thus the practical application of the designed paradigm would eliminate an atmosphere of rancor which may arise from unfair selection of contestants and decision making processes.
