North-West And South-West Zones May Decide 2027 Presidency
A recent analysis of the voter register has shown that the North-West and South-West zones may decide the winner of the 2027 presidential election. The zones have a combined total of over 44 million registered voters.
INEC says over 103 million Nigerians are registered to vote in 2027.
President Bola Tinubu and his opponents are likely to focus on these zones during their campaigns. The North-West zone has the largest number of registered voters, with over 25 million people.
The South-West zone follows closely, with over 19 million registered voters. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that no algorithm will determine the outcome of the election, and that the authority to choose the country's leaders lies with its citizens.
