Abstract
The landscape of political communication has been changed or transformed due to growing popularity of social media. Since social media is based on 2-way communication, therefore, it provides an opportunity to initiate a dialogue and indulge in discussion with a large number of people. Therefore, this study is intended to explore the existing literature that how the politicians are taking full advantage of social media to connect with the audiences and communicate the political ideologies around the globe and then critically analyze the current scenario in Pakistan that how social media is being used by the politicians of Pakistan? Another objective of this study is to explore that what type of researches can be conducted in future regarding social media and political communication in Pakistan. It is important to consider that if used properly the technology can have a significant effective role (Kent, 2013) in any democratic society. Moreover, it has been concluded that in future no research in the field of democracy and political communication would be complete without studying and including the relationship and importance of new technology in the field of information and communication.
