Why It Matters

Technology that moves at the speed of a campaign.

Know your constituency

We build detailed profiles of the constituencies that decide your race, their priorities, history and dynamics, so strategy is built on evidence not assumption.

Evidence you can defend

Every finding traces back to documented sources and transparent methods, so your team can stand behind the research in front of supporters, press and opponents.

Ward and unit level detail

We go beyond national averages to the ward and unit level, where African elections are actually won and lost.

Designed for African electorates

Our research design accounts for the multi-ethnic, multi-language and highly local character of African constituencies.

Questions

Common questions about this service.

Do you conduct opinion polling?

We design and synthesise public opinion research using lawful methods. Where we commission fieldwork, we work with vetted local partners and transparent methodology.

Is this voter manipulation?

No. We do not provide voter manipulation, suppression, deceptive influence, disinformation or unlawful individual political profiling. Our research informs strategy, not manipulation.

How granular is the research?

As granular as the race requires, often down to ward and polling-unit level for Nigerian elections and equivalent units in other markets.

Can you work with data we already have?

Yes. We can build on existing research, datasets and constituency information your team already holds.

The Adeleke Gambit: Why Osun's 1.5 Million-Vote Pledge to Tinubu Could Break the Accord Party

Governor Ademola Adeleke's decision to accept the role of Osun State Coordinator for President Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign, and his camp's vow to deliver 1.5 million votes, represents one of the most consequential and controversial political gambles in recent Southwest politics. The move has exposed deep fault lines within the Accord Party coalition, enraged the grassroots base that fought to install Adeleke, and placed every Accord National Assembly candidate in an existential bind. This analysis examines the strategic logic, the public backlash, the down-ballot danger, and the historical precedents that should worry every Accord strategist in Osun today.

The Movement That Cannot Win: Why Peter Obi's Online Army Will Never Capture Aso Rock

Peter Obi's 2023 campaign generated the most passionate political movement in Nigeria's modern history, built largely on social media and youth mobilisation. This deliberately provocative analysis argues that the Obi movement is a phenomenon of sentiment, not strategy — that its online dominance masks a fatal absence of ground organisation, that its geographic concentration in the South-East makes it structurally incapable of a national majority, and that the 'Obidient' base's intolerance of dissent is actively repelling the coalition partners needed to win.

The Perennial Candidate: Why Atiku's Fifth Presidential Bid Will End Like the Previous Four

Atiku Abubakar is reportedly preparing for a fifth presidential campaign in 2027. This provocative analysis argues that Atiku's candidacy is no longer a serious proposition but a recurring act of political vanity — that his coalition has shrunk, his northern base is fractured, and his capacity to unite the opposition has been exhausted by two decades of personal ambition that has consistently prioritised his own candidacy over collective strategy.
