Poll shows Elrufai in early lead over Yero for Kaduna Gubernatorial Race

A recent survey conducted for ANAP Foundation by NOIPollsLimited shows a significant lead in the Kaduna State Governorship seat between the top two contenders; the Current Governor of the State His Excellency Governor Muhktar Yero and Malam Nasir El-Rufai, with a 26% point gap between the two.

When asked who respondents will be voting for in the coming February 2015 governorship elections in Kaduna State, El-Rufai led the list of candidates with 46 percent, while Governor Yero had 20 percent. However, 23 percent of those polled are undecided as to their choice of candidate; and could be key in deciding a winner.

Similarly, the working class of between 30 to 60 years, as well as Senior Citizens of age 61+, are absolutely certain they will vote.
