The election of both a father and son to a parliament isn't inherently considered nepotism, as nepotism typically refers to the appointment or favoritism shown to relatives in non-democratic processes (e.g., appointments in private companies, government positions, or institutions without fair and open competition).
In the context of parliamentary elections, if both individuals are elected by voters in free and fair elections, it is seen as a reflection of the public's choice. However, if the father-son duo's success is due to undue influence, exploitation of political power, or control over party nominations (common in political dynasties), it could raise concerns about nepotism-like practices or lack of meritocracy in the political system.
The distinction lies in whether the positions are gained through merit (e.g., elections) or favoritism (e.g., appointments).
