APC Leads October Projections for 2027 Elections with 19 States
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has retained its lead in the October electoral map released by Politico.ng, projecting to win 19 states in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. This projection was presented by Lai Omotola, the leader of the political intelligence group, on October 2.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) increased its projected states from eight in September to 10 in October, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) dropped from nine to eight states. The APC's decrease from 20 to 19 states is attributed to losing Rivers State but gaining Adamawa State.
Omotola noted that the changes reflect political developments during September, including campaign mobilization and controversies involving opposition figures. He mentioned the denial of access to Benue State for NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and President Bola Tinubu’s working vacation as significant factors.
The APC has shown the highest level of nationwide mobilization, while the NDC has yet to form a presidential campaign council.
