Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The rapid proliferation of digital platforms has significantly reshaped the landscape of political campaigns worldwide. In Nigeria, particularly in Jega LGA, Kebbi State, platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Instagram have emerged as vital tools for political communication. These platforms enable politicians to engage directly with constituents, disseminate campaign messages, and mobilize support (Usman & Bello, 2023). Unlike traditional media, digital platforms offer interactive features that facilitate two-way communication, thereby enhancing voter participation and awareness. However, the integration of digital platforms into political campaigns also presents challenges, including the spread of misinformation and digital divide issues. This study seeks to examine how digital platforms influence political campaigns in Jega LGA, focusing on their effectiveness, challenges, and impact on voter behavior.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While digital platforms have enhanced political engagement globally, their adoption in Jega LGA faces unique challenges, such as limited internet access, digital illiteracy, and the potential for misuse, including the spread of fake news. Despite their growing influence, there is limited research on how digital platforms shape political campaigns in rural settings like Jega. This study investigates the opportunities and limitations of using digital platforms for political campaigns in Jega LGA, addressing a critical gap in knowledge.
