Real Reasons Why Opinion Polls Places Oshiomhole Ahead Of PDP, Other Parties To Win Edo North Senatorial District

Welcome to “2023 Watch,” our daily examination of polling data and survey research on the various political candidates, voters, and issues that will shape the federation’s general elections in February.

Today’s focus would be on recent political developments in Edo North, which have surpassed our wildest expectations.

The increase can be attributed to the upcoming senatorial election, in which various party candidates are attempting to make a strong impression on voters. This expansion is not limited to the APC and the PDP.

Residents of Edo North are genuinely alarmed by Adams Oshiomhole’s recent rise in popularity, which made it necessary to conduct a census to determine who is most likely to win the seat in the upcoming election.

Our data analysis focused on electorates in the senatorial district’s six local government areas, which are Etsako West, Etsako East, Etsako Central, Owan West, Owan East, and Akoko Edo.

We interviewed approximately 1600 people using both electronic media (all social media platforms) and in-person interviews. All respondents claim they have their voters card and would be voting in the general elections.

The polls opened at 10 a.m. on January 1st and closed at 12 p.m. on January 9th. In terms of numbers, the APC senatorial candidate, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, has a clear advantage over the PDP and other political parties, with over 65% of votes expected to be cast in his favour.

Despite being early, the poll foretells trouble for the PDP because its candidates seem to be unknown as a result of the protracted crisis that the party’s candidates are currently facing. The former governor of Edo State has a sizable advantage over his rivals as a result of this indifference.

The incumbent senator for the senatorial district, Sen Francis Alimikhena, is currently running on a shared ticket with Paschal Ugbome of the PDP, while the other political parties are considered mushroom candidates.

Further inquiries into what influenced their decisions yielded three major reasons why the people have sided with the Deputy DG of the APC presidential campaign council.

Oshiomhole’s previous accomplishments are a major reason for their votes, with the claim that Oshiomhole performed so well for the Afemai people that he can never be ruled out as a force to be reckoned with.

Second, people say the synergy with Oshiomhole and APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is another major reason to vote for him as senator representing Edo North, stating that it would bring a lot of federal presence to Edo North.

Finally, the protracted squabble in the PDP demonstrates that voters are confused about who the PDP candidate is, between Alimikhena and Paschal.

The senatorial election would be held on February 25, 2023. Stay tuned to iReporteronline.com.ng for more information.
