Edo State governorship election is approaching its final stages, with the three major candidates in the race striving to secure enough votes to emerge victorious.
In this analysis, DAILY POST reviews the chances of the candidates ahead of Saturday's election.
Although INEC listed 17 candidates for Saturdays election, the contest has taken the form of a three-horse race, with Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party, and Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, leading the charge.
Apart from these three candidates and others who will appear on the ballot on Saturday, several key figures have significant stakes in the race.
Former Governor Adams Oshiomhole and incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki are engaged in an open battle to deliver their respective candidates.
