The Ekiti State governorship election holding today across the 16 local government areas of the state is a battle, essentially, among three parties – the ruling All Progressives Congress; the Peoples Democratic Party; and the Social Democratic Party.
The PDP is also a strong party with solid structures in all the wards across the 16 LGAs. The party had defeated sitting governments twice since 1999 and it has also reigned at the federal level for 16 years.
Although the party’s support base in Ekiti has been impacted by defection of some members in recent time, analysts say the party is still very much popular in Efon LGA, where its governorship candidate hails from, as well as Irepodun/Ifelodun, Efon, Ikere, Ikole, Emure, and Ekiti East local government areas.Oni’s emergence as SDP’s governorship candidate in February has injected life into it.
Political pundits said that SDP may perform very well in Ido/Osi LGA where its candidate hails from. The SDP may also be popular in Ado, Ise/Orun, Emure, Irepodun, Ifelodun, Gbonyin, Moba, and Ikole, among others. Meanwhile, leaders of the three prominent political parties have said their parties were strong in virtually all the 16 local government areas of the state and expressed confidence that their respective parties would clinch victory.All rights reserved.
