The Prove Foundation, in its latest research, has identified factors that will determine the success of each political party in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.

The group, in its report, released yesterday by its coordinator, Omotola Ariyo, said each party’s success would likely depend on its ability to identify and promote candidates whose attributes resonate with the electorate’s regional sentiments and demands for competent governance.

“For APC, the focus is on reinforcing its northern base and extending its appeal southward. The PDP must work on solidifying its central dominance and expanding its influence. At the same time, LP’s strategy hinges on building upon its southern inroads and narrowing the gap in the North,” Ariyo stated.

He explained that the report went beyond mere statistics but explored the underlying factors influencing voter behaviour and election outcomes, which include socio-political dynamics, economic influences, and other critical elements that have played a pivotal role in shaping the electoral decisions of the populace.
