THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
It is understandable of the fact that the ways election
are organized for leaders to emerge as the ensure forms of politics. Therefore,
this research work is backed up by the Car/Max theory and the western liberal theory the Marxist concept of
polities was concerned with society. Individual and the economy. It was based
on production reproduction and sustenance of the material existence of any
society.
Therefore, the Marxist sees politics as a struggle or
contest for the control of the economic and social institution, the state, the
out come of this consists in the division of society into two antagonistic
class the bourgeoisies and proletariat.
In he another
development, the western liberal theory conceives politics as all those human
activities that are directed towards and indeed reflected in the process of
acquiring using and maintaining governmental power. Max webs is one of the
profounder of this theory from the above
theorist, it is pertinent to point out that the way people perceive power
determines their role in influencing the electoral process just to secure
power.
