Continued political fragmentation and institutional instability increase uncertainty for households regarding policy continuity, social spending, and economic planning. Persistent divisions may delay critical reforms affecting employment, inflation control, and poverty reduction programs.

Government may face pressure to prioritize reconciliation and inclusive governance to restore investor and consumer confidence.
