Detailed Solution

Defection means changing party allegiance for personal interest.
Political parties are mainly formed based on ideology, interest, or a cause, and people sharing similar values come to join parties officially by becoming a member so that they can contest elections from that party. The relationship between a party and a member is based on loyalty and commitment, but over time there is a decline in these values. This has resulted in the weakening of the party structures and members acting in pursuit of their self-interest. Defection is one example where party members change party allegiance for personal interest.
