On the Hungary, the political elite is fairly the same from 1990, they have the same background, social circles they came from, no matter what parties were they in (the only divide was their place during the communism, did they have ties to the Party, or were they in the forming opposition movement). Rejuvenation goes slowly, on one side came the Jobbik, on the other the newer liberal parties (LMP, Momentum), but among their ranks there are people who already had ties to the elite.
In Mali it's worse, because smaller the societal base where politicians could come from, education, profession, connections, people all lack in these. So since 1990 their political elite basically unchanged or those who got into it were already in it with one foot. And people are fed up with them, the traditional parties both on the government and the opposition side, with their leading figures have low popularity - while other public figures, such as clerics enjoy wide support from the populace. And since the social circles of politics are small, they are fairly the same, and personal changes means little for the big picture This also means the most recent coup won't have much effect.
The traditional political elite does what it can to appease Western expectations (France first and foremost) which is mostly ensuring a rule what can be called democratic, and suppressing "terrorist" elements. Since the latter is a tough job and they don't have the resource, they try to satisfy the firs by holding elections regularly, no matter the circumstances. So in these times with the low level war as background noise, this spring they went ahead to keep another - spiced with usual voting "irregularities".
