EIU does not expect result of 2023 presidential election to be overturned
This Day newspaper also reported on the EIU's latest prediction.
The corporation had predicted Tinubu's victory in the 2023 election.
The EIU said:
“Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, won the February presidential election with only 36.6 percent of the vote.
"The result is being contested in court, but EIU does not expect it to be overturned."
The analysts noted that “frustration with the two-party system was made evident by support for Peter Obi of the fringe Labour Party (LP) in the presidential election", predicting that the former Anambra state governor will be a formidable force by 2027.
They said:
“Backed by unions, he will undoubtedly build the party’s profile and become a more formidable force ahead of the next election, in 2027."
