  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Proceedings of Third International Conference on Sustainable Expert Systems

Abstract

This research study attempts to perform a descriptive data analysis based on the raw facebook data of two different persons contested in 2020 regional election to determine whether Facebook is directly related to election results. Here, NVIVO 12 plus tool is used to perform data analysis. The research findings reveal that the political communication made on Facebook is not directly related to the election outcomes. The proposed data analysis also discovered that a candidate dominates the other in terms of candidate vision and mission, leaders, candidate taglines, communication and engagement and activities on Facebook. Finally, the proposed data analysis concluded that even though Facebook accounts played a major role in branding/recognizing the election candidates, it has not influenced the election results.
