ELECTORAL MALPRACTICES

CAUSES OF ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE

  1. Tribal sentiment – Many tribes want a leader from their ethnic group to rule the nation rather than vote for good and trustworthy leaders
  2. Foreign influence – Other countries want to support those who would favour them when in government.
  3. Politics as a means of getting rich – Many people who were paupers become rich through politics. They embezzle money and do what they like hence the reason many contestants involve in malpractice just to win the election
  4. Illiteracy and Poverty – Many people are illiterates and they are poor so they are easily manipulated
  5. Quest to continue in power – Some leaders who have tasted power wants to continue to serve and do not want to leave the position of power.
