ABSTRACT
This study addresses a paramount factor in the politics of Nigeria and Ghana, i.e., ethnicity and voting behaviour. It traced the incidence to the pre-independence era in both countries and explains its place in the formation of political parties and electoral processes. This study draws attention to how competition for national resources among the various ethnic groups
and regions has led to power struggle. Although previous scholars have
made immense and insightful contribution on the subject matter, none of
these scholars did a comparative study on ethnicity and voting behavoiur
of Nigeria
and Ghana within the period specified. A gap was located which inform
the research question: Did ethnic inclination impact on the voting
behaviour of Nigerians
and Ghanaians in the 2003/2007 and 2004/2008 general elections? Does
uneven distribution of government appointments among ethnic groups
influence the voting behaviour of Nigerians and Ghanaians in the
2003/2007 and 2004/2008 general election? Data collection was base on
the observation of relevant documents while descriptive analysis was
adopted.
Ghanaian and Nigerian voters
are aware of the fact that if political leaders of a particular party
express disaffection towards their ethnic groups, then they do not
expect to receive anything in terms of resource allocation;
Clientelistic promises made by political leaders cause ethnic clustering
and the division of society along ethnic lines; People tend to align
themselves with a group that will provide them a stable means of access
to resources that are beneficial to them.
