| Abstract: | The purpose of the present study is to investigate the main antecedents of candidates' popularity on social media. Herein, social media popularity was measured based on the number of Facebook page likes, Twitter followers, and YouTube video views. Our analysis focuses on candidates from Greece who run for the 2014 European Parliamentary elections. Results suggest Greek candidates' popularity on Facebook is driven by the party affiliation and the incumbency status of the candidates, with incumbents and candidates from the winning party attracting more Facebook supporters. |
