What is it about?
This study shows how the democratic imperative of elections have been turned to a criminal activity through the undemocratic practices of politicians and political stakeholders in Nigeria. Rather than winning elections through free and fair contests, the study shows that violence and all sorts of electoral fraud determine the outcomes of elections in Nigerian democracy.

Perspectives
