    (Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences, 2024) Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Osimen Goddy U.; Ezebuilo Paul Chibuike; ADI Isaac
    Electorates in every society are empowered by the constitution to exercise their rights to vote in removing any government that has become unpopular. The unpopular government has attained its position from its bad styles of leadership and ill-treatment of people who have elected them into leadership positions. The study examines elections as a power in the hands of the electorates who are faced with challenges such as insecurity, corruption, poverty, and the like. The study also explores the activities of the government that portray it as unpopular among the electorates. Secondary data is sourced for this research from books, newspapers, journals, and online platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and others alike. Structural Functionalism is used as the theoretical framework of analysis in this paper. The study concludes that election is a democratic tool in the hands of the electorates which can easily be used as a function in ensuring good governance in their society but faced with some challenges such as insecurity that led to defunctionalize. Unpopular government has been discovered to be a temporary existence that is always short-lived since the power of the electorates is non-contestable. It is therefore recommended that serious awareness should be created at all times to keep the electorates informed of their power to effect change of government with the use of elections.
