to learn at age eight, in order to reach a wide audience. During Nigeria’s civil war of the late 1960s, Achebe worked for the cause of the secessionist Biafrans. Since then he was concentrated on teaching, and on encouraging and publishing promising young authors. Through his many works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, he has been a catalyst for
an entire younger generation of African writers. The story, The Voter, is about the main character that has to choose between the modern culture and the traditional culture and this has to be through his political campaigns and elections.

He is a symbol of the educated middle class who are often caught between their ideals and the harsh realities of Nigerian politics.
His wife, Nancy, is a supportive and loving partner who shares his vision for a better future. However, she also represents the traditional values and beliefs that often clash with modern ideas. The antagonist, Chief Nanga, is a corrupt politician who uses his power and influence to manipulate the system for his own gain. He is a symbol of the ruling
elite who have little regard for the welfare of the people they are supposed to serve. The other characters in the story, such as the villagers and the schoolchildren, represent the ordinary citizens who are often marginalized and ignored by those in power. Through these characters, Achebe highlights the complex social and political issues that
continue to plague Nigeria and other African countries. One of the prominent themes in Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in “The Voter” is the idea of corruption in politics.
Achebe highlights the corrupt practices of politicians who use their power to enrich themselves at the expense of the people they are supposed to serve. He also critiques the apathy of the masses who allow these corrupt politicians to continue in power. Another theme is the importance of education and critical thinking in politics.
Achebe emphasizes the need for voters to be informed and to think critically about the issues and the candidates before casting their votes. He also highlights the role of the media in shaping public opinion and holding politicians accountable. Overall, Achebe’s political commentary in “The Voter” is a call to action for citizens to take responsibility for
their role in shaping the political landscape of their country. Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in his book “The Voter” is a scathing critique of the political system in Nigeria. Achebe argues that the country’s leaders have failed to live up to their responsibilities and have instead focused on enriching themselves at the expense of the people. He
also highlights the role of the media in shaping public opinion and the need for citizens to be informed and engaged in the political process.
Achebe’s commentary is a call to action for Nigerians to demand better from their leaders and to take an active role in shaping the future of their country. Education plays a crucial role in shaping the political consciousness of individuals. Chinua Achebe emphasizes the importance of education in his political commentary, “The Voter.” He argues that
education is necessary for individuals to make informed decisions and participate in the democratic process. Achebe believes that education should not only focus on academic knowledge but also on developing critical thinking skills and a sense of social responsibility. He asserts that an educated electorate is essential for a functioning democracy and
that education is a tool for social and political change. Achebe’s commentary highlights the need for accessible and quality education for all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in “The Voter” highlights the corruption of power in Nigerian politics. Achebe portrays the political system as one that
is riddled with bribery, nepotism, and favoritism. He argues that those in power use their positions to enrich themselves and their families, rather than serving the people they were elected to represent. This corruption of power has led to a lack of trust in the government and a sense of disillusionment among the Nigerian people. Achebe’s
commentary serves as a warning about the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of holding those in positions of authority accountable for their actions. Voting is a fundamental right and responsibility of every citizen in a democratic society.
It is the cornerstone of democracy and the foundation of a free and fair society. The importance of voting cannot be overstated, as it is the only way for citizens to have a say in the decisions that affect their lives. By casting their vote, citizens can influence the policies and laws that shape their communities, their country, and the world. Voting is not
only a right, but it is also a duty that every citizen owes to their country. It is a way to ensure that the government is accountable to the people and that the voices of the people are heard. In a world where democracy is under threat, it is more important than ever for citizens to exercise their right to vote and to participate in the democratic process.
Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian writer who was known for his critique of colonialism.
He believed that colonialism was a destructive force that had a negative impact on African societies. Achebe argued that colonialism had disrupted traditional African cultures and had imposed Western values and beliefs on African people.
He believed that this had led to a loss of identity and a sense of inferiority among Africans. Achebe also criticized the way that colonial powers had exploited African resources and had used African people as cheap labor. He believed that this had contributed to the poverty and underdevelopment of many African countries. Achebe’s critique of
colonialism was an important part of his political commentary, and it helped to shape the way that many people thought about the legacy of colonialism in Africa. Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in “The Voter” is still relevant today, as it highlights the importance of democracy and the need for citizens to actively participate in the political
process. With the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of democratic values in many parts of the world, Achebe’s message serves as a reminder that democracy is not a given, but rather a fragile system that requires constant vigilance and engagement. Moreover, his critique of the political elite and their manipulation of the masses is particularly
relevant in an era of fake news and disinformation, where the media can be used to sway public opinion and undermine the democratic process. Overall, “The Voter” remains a powerful commentary on the challenges and opportunities of democracy, and a call to action for citizens to take responsibility for their own political destiny.
Chinua Achebe’s literary style in “The Voter” is characterized by his use of vivid imagery and powerful language to convey his political commentary. Achebe’s writing is both poetic and persuasive, as he skillfully weaves together personal anecdotes and historical context to make his arguments. His prose is also marked by a deep sense of empathy for
the common people, as he highlights the struggles and injustices they face in their daily lives.
Overall, Achebe’s literary style in “The Voter” is a testament to his mastery of both language and politics, and his ability to use the former to shed light on the latter. The reception of Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in The Voter has been mixed. While some readers have praised the novel for its incisive critique of corruption and political
manipulation in Nigeria, others have criticized it for being too didactic and heavy-handed in its approach. Some have also questioned Achebe’s portrayal of women in the novel, arguing that they are often reduced to passive victims or objects of male desire.
Despite these criticisms, however, The Voter remains an important work of political fiction that sheds light on the challenges facing democracy in postcolonial Africa. Chinua Achebe is widely regarded as one of the most influential African writers of the 20th century.
His works, including the acclaimed novel Things Fall Apart, have had a profound impact on African literature and culture. Achebe’s political commentary, in particular, has been a significant influence on African political thought and activism.
In his essay “The Voter,” Achebe critiques the corrupt and oppressive political system in Nigeria, calling for a more democratic and just society. His ideas have inspired generations of African writers and activists to speak out against injustice and fight for political change. Achebe’s legacy continues to shape African literature and politics today,
making him a towering figure in African intellectual history. In comparison to other works by Chinua Achebe, such as Things Fall Apart and No Longer at Ease, The Voter stands out as a more direct political commentary. While Achebe’s other works touch on political themes, they are often woven into the larger narrative of the story. The Voter, on the
other hand, is a focused critique of the corruption and manipulation that can occur in the political process. Achebe’s use of satire and irony in The Voter is also more pronounced than in his other works, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the need for change. Despite its more overt political message, The Voter still showcases Achebe’s
masterful storytelling and ability to create complex, relatable characters. The Voter in the Context of African Literature In African literature, the voter is often portrayed as a symbol of hope and change. Chinua Achebe’s political commentary in his novel, “The Voter,” highlights the importance of the voter in shaping the political landscape of a nation.
Achebe’s protagonist, Marcus Ibe, is a young man who is determined to exercise his right to vote in the upcoming election. Through Marcus’ journey, Achebe sheds light on the challenges faced by voters in Africa, including corruption, voter intimidation, and political violence. Achebe’s commentary serves as a call to action for African voters to take
ownership of their political future and demand accountability from their leaders.
The voter, in the context of African literature, is not just a passive participant in the political process but a powerful force for change. In The Voter by Chinua Achebe we have the theme of corruption, loyalty, guilt, power, greed and tradition. Taken from his Girls at War and Other Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an
unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Achebe may be exploring the theme of corruption. As a politician Marcus has made sure that his life has improved in comparison to those who live in Umuofia. He has built himself a new home with running water yet his constituents don’t have the same access to water as Marcus
does. Though it is not explicitly stated that Marcus has inappropriately obtained his property the fact that he has ready and easy access to large amounts of money suggests that he may be corrupt.
Also Roof on Marcus’ instructions bribes some of the local elders in order to ensure that they will vote for Marcus. At no stage in the story does Roof advise the elders as to why they should vote for Marcus or what benefit electing Marcus will be to the community. The reality being that Roof is bribing the elders in order to ensure that they vote for
Marcus regardless of what Marcus might and might not do for those in the village. Roof’s main concern is not the elders or those in the community but Marcus himself. There also seems to be no thought given by the elders as to what the consequences of their actions (voting for Marcus) might be. Just as Marcus and Roof are corrupt so too are the
local elders who are more concerned with receiving payment for their vote than they are on improving life in the village.
It may also be a case that Achebe is exploring the theme of loyalty. Not only do the elders accept a bribe in return for their loyalty to Marcus but Roof too accepts a bribe to ensure that he will vote for Maduka.
Even though he spends the entirety of the story attempting to ensure that Marcus will get re-elected Roof at the end shows Marcus no loyalty. Having being swayed by the five pounds he has received in order to vote for Maduka. Which in many ways is ironic as there is a sense that even though Roof is working for Marcus he cannot be trusted by
Marcus.
It is also possible that Achebe is placing a spotlight on the way that elections were held in Nigeria at the time the story was written.
With the possibility that corruption was commonplace. By bribing the elders of a village a politician was able to ensure that they got elected. Where many would expect an individual to be allowed to independently decide on who they should vote for this is not the case in the story. With constituents being instructed by the elders on which way to vote.
It is also difficult to say for certain as to why Roof begins to feel guilty about the prospect of voting for Maduka. However it is possible that Roof feels guilty because he is loyal to Marcus and he knows that should Maduka become elected his services will no longer be needed by Marcus. The position he holds in the village will be lost and as such he
will no longer have the authority that he feels he has over others.
Any power that Roof does have will be gone. He will no longer be able to benefit personally as he has been able to do while Marcus has been elected. Just as Marcus may lose any comforts he has obtained from his corruption so too will Roof. There will be no need for the elders to listen to Roof should Marcus lose the election as there will no longer be
any available funds to bribe the elders with. The introduction of the iyi may also be important as by introducing it into the story Achebe appears to be exploring the theme of tradition. Roof is very much afraid of the iyi and his actions at the polling station may be triggered by his fear of the iyi and what may happen him should he not fulfill his promise
to vote for Maduka. The end of the story is also interesting if not ironic. By ripping his ballot paper in two and placing half of the paper in each ballot box Roof feels that he has honoured his commitment to vote for Maduka. However if anything Roof has ended up spoiling his vote with neither Marcus nor Maduka getting his vote. Despite having been
bribed by one of Maduka’s men and having a sense of loyalty to Marcus Roof hasn’t managed to vote for either man. Something that appears to be lost on Roof with Achebe describing Roof as walking out of the polling station ‘jauntily.’ It might also be a case that Achebe is suggesting that an individual should be allowed to freely cast their vote
without the influence of others (Elders, Roof, Marcus and Maduka). Something that has not been the case throughout the story with Roof acting as an agent for corruption in order for Marcus to continue living the lifestyle he has become accustomed to. Yet at the same time he provides no benefit to his constituents. Democracy has not been allowed to
play its role due to the corruption that exists in Umuofia. The reader is also aware that when the next election arrives that too will be corrupt thanks to the actions of both Marcus and Maduka. Maduka might not win the election on this occasion but he is preparing himself for the next election. Paying for votes with money and having no concern, like
Marcus, for the constituents in Umuofia. Cite PostMcManus, Dermot. "The Voter by Chinua Achebe." The Sitting Bee. The Sitting Bee, . Web. See Also:
