Background of the study
Digital political marketing has transformed electoral campaigns, especially in mobilizing youth participation. In Kaduna, youth-led campaigns are leveraging digital marketing strategies such as targeted advertisements, interactive content, and social media outreach to engage young voters effectively (Ibrahim, 2023). This review examines the role of digital political marketing in enhancing voter engagement, focusing on how innovative digital techniques contribute to increased political participation among the youth. The study discusses the evolution of digital marketing tools—from email blasts to influencer collaborations—and their ability to create a dynamic and interactive political environment (Afolabi, 2024). Emphasis is placed on content personalization, data-driven targeting, and real-time feedback as key elements that drive voter engagement. However, challenges such as message fragmentation, digital fatigue, and potential misinformation are also explored (Okeke, 2024). By evaluating case studies from a prominent youth-led campaign in Kaduna, the research aims to identify best practices and potential pitfalls. The findings will offer insights into optimizing digital political marketing strategies to foster greater voter participation and strengthen democratic processes (Umar, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Youth-led political campaigns in Kaduna encounter challenges in utilizing digital political marketing to maximize voter engagement. Despite the proliferation of digital tools, issues such as inconsistent messaging, over-saturation of digital content, and misinformation hinder the conversion of online interest into active voter participation (Ibrahim, 2023). There is also a lack of comprehensive reviews that systematically assess the effectiveness of these digital strategies. This gap makes it difficult for campaign organizers to refine their approaches and fully harness the potential of digital marketing for voter mobilization. Consequently, the expected boost in youth voter engagement often falls short, limiting the overall impact of the campaign (Afolabi, 2024).

To assess their impact on voter engagement.

The findings contribute to academic discussions on digital political communication and provide practical recommendations for enhancing campaign effectiveness (Ibrahim, 2023; Umar, 2025).
