Abstract: The place of social media to rally political support is no longer in doubt. To advance the conversation and mobilize political supports, social media has become a critical political tool for campaign planners. The 2011 general elections in Nigeria arguably marked a significant milestone in the use of social media for political communication in the country. Motivated by President Barrack Obama's successful use of Facebook to win the United States elections in 2008 as the first black American president, Nigerian politicians are indeed, gradually taking their campaigns to the social networking sites and other online platforms. Within the election period, political aspirants were disposing of all means to gear up their support base, following the realization that electioneering requires more than just handshakes and physical persuasion..........

Abstract: Electoral politics since its inception has presented both acceptable and unacceptable forms of behaviour when it comes to the conduct of elections that have changed through time. Elections worldwide has thus featured attempts by some institutions and participants to undermine the integrity of elections through various ways as ways of getting into power or seeking maintenance of the status quo. Zimbabwe as one of the emerging democracies after so many decades of colonialism has been active in using elections as a democratic way of choosing its national leaders. The Zimbabwean electoral environment has since independence in 1980 been criticised for failure to adhere to the principles of free and fair elections. The timely held elections have been condemned because of their high levels of electoral fraud. To address the anomalies the Electoral Act was amended in 2012 to try and enhance the system to do away with electoral fraud. The paper therefore seeks to analyse the successes of the Act in dealing with electoral fraud as well as the loopholes that still exist which could be manipulated by the electoral fraudsters. Suggestions will be made as to how these electoral challenges could be overcome.
