Democracy is, first and foremost, about providing the free-&-fair competitive environment, akin to the above competition. Political parties and political candidates may exercise their free will whether to compete. You can’t force people to compete. People may choose not to compete for various valid reasons such as lack of campaign funds, immature political party machinery, weak party platform, unfavorable prevailing public sentiments, low odds of winning.
Ideally, there should be competition. But, if none for a particular election cycle, it says something too about the politicoscape, the voters, the society. Maybe the society is democratically cool with this? What’s important is that this occurred in a democratic free-&-fair competitive ecosystem where nobody was constrained from competing if they had wanted to.
