Allegations of fraud in any upcoming presidential election can have a significant impact on the final outcome. The situation often causes confusion and distrust in the electoral process, which can lead to a lack of faith in the ultimate result.

The allegations of fraud can impact the election in several ways. First, it can create a sense of unease among the voters, leading a significant portion of them to not cast their ballots. Without a high voter turnout, the election may not heighten the legitimacy of the candidate who ends up winning.

Secondly, the allegations of fraud can lead to a legal battle in which both candidates fight for the ultimate prize - the presidency. This scenario, which occurred in the United States in the 2000 elections and Venezuela in 2013, caused serious political upheaval, with serious legal challenges and accusations of rigging the system. The country's overall stability is at risk, leading to larger problems such as civil unrest and violence.

Thirdly, allegations of fraud can also lead to a decline in foreign investment in the country, deter new businesses from setting up, and also reduce tourism. This lack of confidence could extend, ultimately affecting the economy of the country involved.

Social media can also play a significant role in spreading allegations of fraud. In many countries, social media plays an important role in shaping public opinion, especially among young people, who hold a significant number of votes. If social media is impacted by allegations of fraud, it can significantly impact the election's outcome as well.

To conclude, allegations of fraud in upcoming presidential elections naturally can have far-reaching and negative impacts on a country. It is crucial that the electoral process be transparent and legal to ensure that people's faith in the political process is maintained. The media, both traditional and social, must be responsible for what they publish to ensure they do not drive the process in one direction or another. It is only through transparency and willingness to work together that the country can emerge stronger, with a healthy democracy.
