When asked who respondents will be voting for in the coming
February 2015 governorship elections in Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti led the list
of candidates with 45 percent, while Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu had 18 percent,
indicating a significant 27 percent lead by Dr. Otti. Other candidates such as
Chikwe Udensi and Anyim Nyerere had 2 percent and 1 percent respectively.
However, 32 percent of those polled are either undecided (19 percent) or sought
confidentiality (13 percent) to their choice of candidate; and could be key in
deciding a winner.
The survey results also show that Dr. Alex Otti appears to
have support of voters across all age groups; particularly from first time
voters of between the ages of 18 to 21 (70 percent). Furthermore, 24 percent of
voters in Abia-South and 21 percent in Abia- Central senatorial districts
remain undecided as to their choice of candidate.
The survey shows that almost 9 in 10 eligible voters are
registered to vote in the February elections, with about 8 in 10 (86 percent)
being absolutely certain that they will vote. Similarly, the working class of
between 30 to 60 years, as well as Senior Citizens of age 61+, are absolutely
certain they will vote.
