Abstract

This paper reviews the vote buying in Nigeria electoral and political process, while vote buying has constantly been the bane to better democratic process, on the contrary, the expectation of representative democracy was thwarted. This has been a cyclical element that has posed lot of danger to getting the best out of election as a major element of democracy in selecting an apt candidate that will bring out best in governance. The structure is now inherently bastardized and has been a cankerworm to primary and general election as it cannot survive the potency of electoral act. While efforts to eliminate vote buying or money politics proved abortive, this in turn necessitated this paper in bringing the best out of our processes.
