“There are two aspects to handing over,” he stated. The first is the transfer of documents and information regarding the government’s operations, including completed projects, unfinished projects, and advice for the incoming administration.
“The inauguration is the second factor. If the outgoing and incoming governments are from different political parties, it is not always necessary to attend the inauguration due to the possibility of violence between supporters.”
