NDC Tops Online Polls: A Growing Challenge for the APC

The Nigeria Democratic Congress has surged ahead in multiple informal social media polls, capturing the attention of urban youth and digital activists. In contrast, the All Progressives Congress denies that this online momentum poses a real threat to its hold on power. Support for the NDC is driven by the “Third Force” alliance, uniting Peter Obi’s Obidient movement with Kwankwaso’s Kwankwasiyya faction. The party’s organised primaries, high-profile defectors, and strong digital campaigns reflect growing voter frustration over inflation and economic hardship under the current government. The APC, led by Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda and backed by key governors, argues that online popularity does not guarantee election wins. They point to their control of 30 state governments, national legislators, and the risk of coalition disputes to downplay the NDC’s digital gains. Yet insiders admit the ruling party is closely tracking the NDC’s expanding online reach.
