The Political Ecology of Election in Nigeria and the Fragility of Democratic Sustainability

Abstract

This paper examines the political ecology in Nigeria with focus on   Electoral fraud and its effect on  sustainable democracy in Nigeria. In carrying out this work, descriptive method and Marxian political economy paradigm was employed as the framework of analysis. It was found out among others that electoral fraud undermines participatory democracy. Thus, the input of the people in deciding who rule them is scuttled; popular participation in governance and elections of public officers have been hijacked by political gladiators, god-fathers and god-mothers. Consequently the nations democratic practice appear unstable. To avert this, the paper suggests a total over haul of social structures.

Keywords: Electoral Fraud and Sustainable Democracy, Political Ecology
