Explanation:

Autocracy is a form of government where one person has absolute power. Democracy is a system where the people have a say in governance, either directly (direct democracy) or through elected representatives (representative democracy). Parliamentary democracy has a prime - minister as the head of government, with the legislature (parliament) being powerful. In presidential democracy, the president is the head of government and is directly elected by the people.
For Kenya, it is a presidential democracy. The president is the head of government, responsible for implementing laws and leading the executive branch. The legislature is called the Parliament, which makes laws. Leaders are chosen through elections. Citizens vote in elections and have rights and freedoms.
For Nigeria, it is also a presidential democracy. The president leads the executive, the legislature is the National Assembly which enacts laws. Leaders are elected, and citizens participate through voting and have certain rights.
For South Africa, it is a parliamentary republic. The prime - minister (in practice, the President of South Africa) is the head of government. The legislature is called Parliament, which makes laws. Leaders are chosen through a system where the majority party in the legislature determines the head of government. Citizens vote and have rights and freedoms.
