Abstract
This research paper examines the increasing role of social media and digital strategies in political campaigns. It explores the impact of these platforms on the political landscape, including their ability to shape public opinions, mobilize supporters, and facilitate direct communication between candidates and voters. Using the survey research method, the study found that social media use in political engagement and campaigns impacted the voters in the area of coming out to vote, campaigning for political candidates, registering and collecting their PVC as well as discussion on political issues. The study also found that politicians utilized digital strategies such as targeted ads, personalized messaging, digital analytics and others in engaging and convincing voters. However, the study found some ethical issues with social media use for political campaigns. These included invasion of privacy, overflogged ads, and dissemination of misinformation and attack campaigns. Based on the findings, the study recommends among others that social media handlers should ensure that the contents of their political campaigns are issue-based and devoid of misinformation, unwarranted attacks and properly presented.
