Peter Obi Loses To Tinubu, Atiku In THISDAY 2023 Election Centre Projections – [See Stats]

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, emerged third behind candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in a THISDAY 2023 Election Centre Projection recently made available to the public.

According to the poll analysis, with the 2023 general elections less than two months now, there are tendencies that there would be a presidential run-off.

The stats by the THISDAY 2023 Election Centre showed the candidate of the PDP coming clear with massive votes in 21 states with the APC flagbearer also hopeful of garnering massive votes from 20 states.

The stats also showed the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, coming fourth behind Obi.

With insignificant postings in many states to satisfy the constitutional requirement of 25 per cent of votes cast in 24 states, the stat is predicting an inconclusive election.

The stats according to the election projection centre were gathered based on the presence of the candidates in each of the states, their structures and support base, capacity to mobilise, the contents of their respective manifestos, ethnic sentiments, their popularity and name recognition, as well as a financial war chest.

It also noted that while the factors function differently from zone to zone, those responsible for the state-by-state analysis also differ in many respects, with the political parties playing defining roles as well.
