ABSTRACT
This study focuses mainly on the effect of poverty on electoral violence among youths in Ikot Epene, Akwa Ibom State. precisely, which has become a thorn to the effective workings of democratic values, especially, in the conduct of free and fair elections. Since the re-emergence of democratic rule, in Nigeria and Ikot Ekpene L.G.A. in particular, in 1999, political violence has being playing a prominent role in political processes that threatens the emergence of people oriented government. It is against this background that the paper x-rays the relationship between poverty and political violence among youth in the politics of Ikot Ekpene L.G.A. Using the relative deprivation theory, the paper discovers that poverty and political violence cannot be separated. This is as a result of the fact that the youth are in a serious condition of poverty which make them to embrace illicit behaviours especially political violence. The paper finally suggest that in as much as the politicians would continue to assume politics as a do or die affair, political violence would undoubtedly remain perpetual in Ikot Ekpene L.G.A. and Nigeria in general. To this end, therefore, the rule of law must be strictly observed, to punish the actors and their masters who finance them.
