If the election is free and fair like INEC has promise, I don't see PDP winning the presidential election. In the 2011 election, GEJ got over 50% of his vote from SS and SE states because the election was rigged to favour him. I was in Delta state during the 2011 presidential election and the turn out was really low but I was surprise when INEC declared that over 1 million people voted for GEJ. The election is going to be determined by which party rig more and I think PDP has more resources to out rig APC because they are master in the rigging game. As for me, I don't plan on voting because the result has already be determined and I don't see PDP losing the election..

Projecting 2015 based on 2011 is the the worst premise imaginable. A lot of underlying factor has changed. Most of all APC is very, very diffrent from CPC, Jonathan have lost two much ground and many other factors too innumerable to mention.

Correct. The ship sailed on the PDP just a few months ago. The model of 2011 is so irrelevant for the PDP especially with the defections and the reduced opportunity to rig. For the 2011 elections there were two northerners sharing the votes in their base region and SW. The APC was virtually non existent as a party. Adamawa, Ekiti, Kwara and Edo states are very APC-looking now.
NC states are the real swing states and the best Jonathan can hope for there is a 50:50 split in states won, not even number of votes.

I pointed out that we are not even sure if elections will hold in Adamawa but for Ondo state, the gap is about 300,000 votes from the last elections. Do you think the local politics can swing 300,000 votes?

Truth is SW states have the tendency to vote en bloc more than any other region and Jonathan was the de facto consensus Yoruba candidate in the last elections. Behind the scenes ACN abandoned their own presidential candidate and threw their support to Jonathan. This time around it's Buhari and he has a running mate very popular in the SW at the moment, the local dynamics in that region has changed completely. I won't be surprised if GEJ loses in Ekiti state as well.

Jonathan will clinch at least 50% in Lagos. Granted that Buhari has made a serious inroad into the SW as per the Tinubu factor but I can't see how PDP wouldn't handily nick Ondo, Ekiti and Lagos states.

People appear to base assumptions on the media propaganda making rounds...

great analysis.
raumdeuter:
Ondo is a swing state and Ekiti should be in the PDP corner

Adamawa is either with APC or at best a swing state.

I wonder why anyone would call Kwara a swing state, A state thats firmly in the grip of APC when the governor and all the power brokers there (Saraki) are in APC.

Nasarawa when did the governor decamp? Almakura was the only CPC (Buhari's party) governor elected if I remember correctly

I expect all SS and SE to go for Jonathan making 11 states plus Benue, Plateau, Taraba Kogi and Ekiti making 16

I expect All NW(7states) Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Yobe, Niger, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun to go GMB making 17

Swing states are Nasarawa, FCT, Adamawa and Ondo making 4 states

I still insist that your projections are based on a completely wrong premise. Too much has changed in most states local politics and too many new factors will dominate this coming election.
YOU CANNOT USE 2011 FOR 2015!
Some permutations here are flawed. This coming election will prove that. Ekiti was firmly an APC state few months ago until Fayose came from nowhere and floored Fayemi. The only certainty in this coming election is surprises

This is just an academic exercise.

Going by the results of the last elections and current happenings in the country, I will attempt to analyze the upcoming presidential elections. This is not mere speculation as about 80% of my conclusion will based on empirical data which is the last presidential election.

I expect PDP to win comfortably (greater than 50%) in 17 states of Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo (Yes EDO), Enugu, Imo, Kogi, Ondo, Plateau, Rivers and Taraba. I gave Edo and Rivers to PDP despite having governors of the opposition because PDP had 85 and 98% of total votes cast there in the last election. I very much doubt that the clout of the governors can upturn this even as I believe that the APC might garner a better figure than the 2011 polls.

I expect APC to win comfortably (greater than 50%) in 16 states of Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kastina, Kebbi, Lagos, Niger, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara. I am going to give Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states to APC because they happen to be the base of the old ACN party that has metamorphosed into the APC. There is however doubts in some quarters whether there will be elections in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states where insurgency is raging like wild fire.

The swing states is where the battle will be decided, these are
Ekiti – Very close results in the last election coupled with the new governor’s activities.
FCT – Close results and divided opinions
Kwara – Close results and decamping of the current governor to APC.
Nassarawa – Close past results and decamping of the sitting governor to APC.

I did not base my conclusion on any basis for the leading political parties, as it stands both parties have almost the same chance of winning the presidential polls…
Let the swing states decide…
the factors which you grounded your claims are off-putting and simply ineffective and it looks like you modified everything just to suit your the affections you have for a political party. Time has changed, we have experienced several inter party defections, re-elections have taken place with the likes of Ekiti and Osun with others even the number of Pvc collected is another important factor to consider. These and many more are factors to pull down the weight of the last general election's results. I'm not trying to be biased but even if pdp would win election, it won't be a land slide victory, the gap would be so little. Why? Beacause if the majority of S.S and S.E are going PDP, it doesn't mean that Apc won't get their own share. The Northerners are strongly behind APC and it doesn't mean that PDP won't get her own share. Now come to south west, it's mostly belongs to Apc. The advantage Apc has is that, the northern population is higher than the Eastern population so they are likely to get enough vote while the western population is a little bit higher than the Southern population[i may not be correct]. To me, the election is just like Hausa and yoruba against Igbos and Ijaws now judge it with the factors I stated above. Thats my own view

Thank you!
No more sympathy votes for GEJ. Only in SE and SS. Every other place outside those regions he has to strenuously work to earn forty percent of the votes. And in at least one third of the thirty six states, he will have way less than that
