Findings from the study revealed that electoral malpractice in Nigeria Fourth Republic have resulted into the imposition of corrupt and illegitimate leaders who have no regard to the principles of democracy which are off-shoots for good governance, rule of law, constitutionalism and fundamental human rights.
