On the other hand, analysts have predicted that if the voter turnout exceeds 60%, LP’s presidential candidate still holds a chance at winning the elections.
According to findings, the LP are the strongest in the Southeast, some parts of the North-central and the Southwest but the reports says that Obi’s main strength and support he gets from the Nigerian youths.
Seventy percent of the youth are among the registered voters, which could be vital to Obi winning the presidential election as an underdog.
