An online poll conducted recently on Instagram has revealed a strong public preference for Dr. Bello Matawalle, the former Governor of Zamfara State and current Minister, to return as the state’s helmsman in the 2027 gubernatorial elections. The poll, hosted by the popular Instagram account @arewatrending_ just four days ago, indicates a significant digital momentum in favor of Matawalle.
The poll, which posed the question “Who is the best choice for Governor of Zamfara in 2027?”, saw overwhelming support for Dr. Bello Matawalle (APC), who secured a commanding 95% of the total votes. His opponent, Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare (PDP), garnered only 5%. Out of 117 total votes cast in the Instagram native poll, Matawalle received an estimated 111 votes, while Lawal received approximately 6 votes.
This outcome suggests a highly mobilized online support base for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and early momentum in Matawalle’s favor among the sampled online audience. The 117 total responses, while moderate, reflect a growing public interest and early political awareness regarding the upcoming 2027 elections in Zamfara State.
For Dr. Bello Matawalle’s team and the APC, these findings present a significant psychological victory that can be leveraged to build early momentum. The poll highlights a strong alignment between grassroots sentiment and digital engagement, which could be crucial in boosting support as the election cycle approaches.
While the online poll demonstrates robust digital support for Matawalle, the analysis report concludes that in the build-up to Zamfara 2027, the party must expand their reach, clarify their visions, and invest in both online and grassroots engagement strategies to consolidate this early advantage.
