Abstract: The study investigated the determinants of political participation among farmers in the South East Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 200 farmers in the South East Zone (Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia State). Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and regression model. The findings showed that the majority (60%) of the farmers were male. The mean age of the farmers was 47years while the average farm size was 1.07 hectares. The Majority (52%) of the farmers were married while 60% of them were full time farmers. Similarly, the mean farming experience was 13 years indicating that they had long time farming experience. Determinants of political participation among farmers in the study area were education (t=6.725,p=002), income (t=5.060, p=0.000), age (t=3.807, p=001), sex (t=3.778, p=000), incentives (t=-3.678, p=003), social welfare (t=-4.659, p=003), mode of participation (t=4.698, p=002), political environment (t=5.396, p=004), political interest (t=3.789, p=000) and party interest (t=4.891, p=004). The study recommends the timely provision of social amenities; incentives and other farming inputs to enable farmers participate fully in politics.
