He emphasized the importance of early preparation, citing that in 2023, the duo garnered nearly 14 million votes, enough to challenge the APC's secured 8 million votes. Alancha also expressed concern over speculation that former President Goodluck Jonathan could make a comeback in 2027.

The article also mentioned previous reports of opposition leaders, including Atiku and Obi, adopting the African Democratic Congress coalition platform to challenge the 2027 election. Alancha's analysis underscores the potential vulnerability of the APC's current political strategy in the face.
