Professor Kingsley Moghalu, a political economist and former presidential candidate in the 2019 election has said the 2023 election is extremely difficult to predict “because of the ‘Third Force’ factor of Labour Party candidate Peter Obi”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Moghalu, Obi’s entry into the 2023 race “has scrambled the projections” of the two main political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This election is extremely difficult to predict,” Moghalu told CNN.
“That’s because of the ‘Third Force’ factor of Labor Party candidate Peter Obi, which has scrambled the projections of the two traditionally dominant parties, APC and PDP.
“While many still believe one of the two will come out on top ultimately, the fact that several scientific opinion polls have put Obi in the lead means that the possibility of an upset clearly exists.”
