Why would a politician be motivated to gerrymander congressional districts?

A politician would be motivated to gerrymander congressional districts to give himself & his party a better chance of winning an election/re-election. Gerrymandering allows for a higher chance of their bills to be passed as legislators mainly come from their own party by majority vote.

swahili is an extremely rich and complex civilization, a set of ethnic groups articulated by a language and a series of cultural elements that fuse the african traditions, islam and indian culture. this growth was largely a result of the indian ocean trading network that brought in not just man-made riches, but also religious ideas, specifically islam, which had a significant impact on the local culture. furthermore, the development of the swahili language gave a common cultural unity to the people.
