Abstract

Traditional ways of party mobilisation are losing ground across diaspora. The recipe for electoral success across expatriates is different from the national recipe of winning elections. A party with more informal organisation, strong digital communication and a relevant party programme that speaks to the needs of diaspora is likely to gain more votes from non-resident citizens.
