•It’s not a reflection of realities on the ground —Fayemi Campaign Group
A recent survey on the forthcoming governorship election in Ekiti State has shown a tightly contested race between the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and current governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi and the former governor and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ayo Fayose, with just a two per cent point gap between the two.
The survey was conducted for ANAP Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation that is committed to promoting good governance, by NOIPolls Limited.
ANAP has been carrying out series of elections polls since 2011 with the sole objective to provide information on opinion research during the election period and conducted similar polls for the Lagos State governorship and presidential elections in 2011.
In the recent survey on Ekiti, the president and founder of the organisation, Atedo Peterside, disclosed that respondents were asked who they will be voting for in the June 21, 2014 governorship elections in the state and that Fayose led the list of candidates with 31 per cent, while Fayemi got 29 per cent.
He stated that 37 per cent of those polled were undecided as to their choice of candidate.
The survey results also showed that youths between the ages of 18-29 years are more inclined to vote for Fayose, while the working class between the age groups of 30-45 and 46-60 are more inclined to vote for Fayemi.
The survey shows that almost eight in 10 eligible voters are registered to vote in the June election, with about six in 10 are absolutely certain that they will vote
The 46-60 years age group led the majority of those who are absolutely certain they will vote.
Meanwhile, Governor Fayemi has said the survey is not a reflection of realities on ground. He declared that his administration has delivered on its promises through good and impactful governance in the last four years.
