ABSTRACT
The conduct of free and fair elections has become the yardstick for measuring the strength and credibility of a country’s democracy. The absence of free and fair elections has become an almost insurmountable obstacle to democratization in most African countries, especially in Nigeria. The history of the conduct of elections in the country is predominated with the prevalence of electoral misconducts and malpractices which has weakened the nerves of democratization and the country’s prospects for consolidation of her democratic institutions. In Nigeria’s fourth republic, the crisis of democratization is anchored upon the challenges of electoral malpractice, just as the conduct of elections in the country since 1999 has been inundated with spiraling malpractices in the electioneering process. This study adopts the descriptive and survey research method to examine the perception of respondents towards election malpractice in 2015 general elections in Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria in general. Using quanlitative approach to analysis, data is drawn from both primary and secondary sources. It found out that unreliability of security agencies during elections, lack of INEC autonomy from political and financial influence during elections, and the culture of electoral impunity are the central forces that enhance election malpractice in Nigeria. It recommended that in order to curb election malpractice in the country, security agencies should be well equipped, oriented and monitored during elections to ensure their compliance with the ethics of their duty of maintaining orderliness, that the electoral management body INEC should be practically granted real financial and bureaucratic autonomy from the government and that the culture of electoral impunity should be addressed through the respective legal apparatus: necessary review of the electoral act and commitment of judiciary and security agencies to arrest and prosecute electoral law offenders.
