Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Grassroots mobilization is an essential component of political campaigns, particularly in local government elections. In regions like Kaura Namoda Local Government, Zamfara State, political parties and interest groups engage in mobilizing the masses to increase voter turnout and support for their candidates. However, this mobilization can sometimes escalate into election-day violence, especially when political groups use inflammatory rhetoric or incite violence to influence the electoral process. This study explores the relationship between grassroots mobilization and election-day violence in Kaura Namoda.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While grassroots mobilization aims to increase political participation and engagement, it can also contribute to violence during elections. In Kaura Namoda, the intense competition among political parties has, at times, led to physical altercations and clashes on election days. This study seeks to assess the effect of grassroots mobilization efforts on the occurrence of election-day violence and identify strategies for mitigating such violence.
