About the Book

Technology Integration and Transformation of Elections in Africa serves as a standard textbook and a reference guide to students in both undergraduate and graduate programs in tertiary institutions where elaborate discourse on the impact of technology to political elections and advancements across the continental Africa have continued to gain weight. The rationale in publishing this textbook far more outweighs its timeliness but speaks highly of its significance because it deals with technology integration and transformation of elections in Africa, a region whose elections has been continuously marred by corruption and incessant fraudulent activities perpetrated by both the citizens, various political parties and the umpires whose responsibilities were to present a credible election. Elections in Africa draws international attention and the news is seldom good. For instance, the elections in Kenya, fueled violence that left 1,500 dead and 300,000 displaced, while elections in Zimbabwe suffered from massive fraud and brutal suppression. In Nigeria in 1999, and 2011, the result of the elections were in shambles and some of the parties that lost the election took to the street resulting in the death of significant percentage of innocent people.

Review :
The motive of the authors of this very important textbook is to present strong, resounding arguments on how the integration of technological paraphernalia has contributed immensely in cutting down corrupt practices that have for a long time marred electoral processes in Africa. Professor Nwokeafor has done just an excellent job editing this master piece that conveyed such a wonderful knowledge and information base which builds a strong foundation in political communications and the advancement of politics in Africa. Technology Integration and Transformation of Elections in Africaprovides considerable overview of technology’s role and its various transformation agenda in the revolution currently taking place in the election process in Africa. It also shows how the integration of technological innovations and transformation structure has impacted the present and future elections in Africa.
