Background of the study
Social media political marketing has become integral to contemporary political campaigns, enabling parties to connect directly with voters and tailor messages in real time. In Kaduna, political parties are harnessing platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp to deploy targeted political marketing strategies designed to enhance campaign effectiveness. These digital marketing tactics include sponsored content, interactive polls, and live-streamed campaign events that create an engaging environment for voter interaction (Ibrahim, 2023). This study examines how these social media strategies contribute to the overall effectiveness of a political campaign, evaluating both the qualitative aspects of message delivery and the quantitative impact on voter engagement. The research highlights the dynamic interplay between digital content creation, audience segmentation, and real-time feedback, which are critical to refining campaign strategies. Additionally, the study considers the challenges posed by digital saturation and misinformation, which can compromise message integrity. By analyzing campaign metrics, voter response, and case studies from Kaduna, this research seeks to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement in social media political marketing (Abubakar, 2024). Ultimately, the findings aim to offer a robust framework for enhancing campaign effectiveness through strategic digital marketing.
Statement of the problem
Political parties in Kaduna face difficulties in maximizing the potential of social media political marketing to achieve campaign success. Despite substantial investment in digital marketing, issues such as inconsistent messaging, digital noise, and misinformation often dilute the intended impact on voter engagement (Ibrahim, 2023). The lack of an integrated strategy that effectively combines various digital tools further complicates the ability to track and enhance campaign effectiveness. These challenges create a gap between high online engagement and actual voter mobilization, hindering campaign outcomes. This study addresses these issues by critically evaluating current social media political marketing practices and identifying strategies to bridge the gap between digital interaction and campaign success (Abubakar, 2024).

To assess the impact of social media political marketing on campaign effectiveness.
To identify challenges that hinder the full potential of digital political marketing.
