Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Political campaigns play a crucial role in mobilizing voters, shaping public opinion, and influencing electoral outcomes. Campaign events such as rallies, debates, and town hall meetings serve as platforms for political parties and candidates to communicate their visions, policies, and promises. In Kano Municipal LGA, political campaigns have historically been vibrant, drawing large crowds and fostering political engagement. However, the direct relationship between these events and voter turnout remains underexplored. While campaign events aim to energize the electorate, factors such as the credibility of the messages, the accessibility of venues, and the perceived sincerity of candidates significantly influence their effectiveness. Examining the impact of these events on voter turnout provides insights into how political campaigns can be optimized to enhance democratic participation in Kano Municipal LGA.
