Should leaders be rewarded for being democratic?

Quote:

A $5m prize for Africa's most effective head of state is to be launched by one of the continent's leading businessmen, in an effort to combat poor leadership.

It will be available only to a president who democratically transfers power to his successor.

But why should it be necessary to reward leaders for obeying laws and doing what they are elected to do? Can it encourage good governance and reduce corruption as businessman Mo Ibrahim hopes?

Can the EU enter this competition?
