Accord Party Predicts Rainbow Coalition's 2027 Failure

The Kwara State chapter of the Accord Party has predicted that the Rainbow Coalition will not achieve significant electoral success in the 2027 elections. This assertion was made in a statement by State Publicity Secretary Olamilekan Esinrogunjo, which was released on a Sunday and obtained by PUNCH Online in Ilorin.

The Accord Party criticized the coalition for lacking grassroots support and a coherent political message, arguing that it is primarily driven by elite interests and personal rivalries rather than a unified governance agenda. They specifically pointed out the contradiction in the coalition's stance of opposing local politics while supporting President Bola Tinubu at the federal level.

The party emphasized that political alliances among influential figures do not guarantee voter support and that the coalition has not articulated a clear program to address the electorate's concerns. The Accord Party concluded that the outcome of the elections will depend on the ability of political parties to engage with voters through credible programs and grassroots efforts.
