👉 In the context of political science, "reintrenchment" refers to a process in which an incumbent government or party is challenged by opposition parties and candidates who promise to address the issues they were criticized for. This can lead to a re-election campaign where the incumbent is forced to address the criticisms made against them. The goal of reintrenchment is often to restore public trust and confidence in the political system, as well as to hold onto power if possible.
