Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A democratic government must have both popularly elected officials and fundamental political liberties for its citizens. Leaders chosen by the people must have the final say in all decisions in a democracy. The fact that having elections alone is insufficient is another trait. A genuine selection of political options must be shown during the elections. Additionally, if people so choose, they should be able to overthrow the current leadership. Therefore, the foundation of democracy must be free and fair elections in which the incumbent government has a reasonable possibility of losing.
The correct statement is parties forming a coalition in elections is not a feature of democracy.
