In Katsina Local Government, Katsina State, electoral periods are often characterized by heightened tensions, which, without effective dialogue, escalate into violence. Inter-party dialogue provides a platform for political actors to address grievances, build trust, and promote consensus (Abubakar & Bello, 2024). This approach not only minimizes electoral violence but also strengthens democratic institutions by encouraging cooperation among parties (Aliyu & Ahmed, 2023).
