ABSTRACT

Nigeria has been practicing multi-party system of politics long ago, and the contestants are too numerous. This system gives way for rigging and political lobbying. However, it has been discovered that two-party system is the best political system that can give good and accurate election results in Nigeria, as observed in the annulled June 12 election of 1993. In this paper, we develop a model that can predict the election result between any two political parties in any democratic setup. We also illustrate the practical implementation of the model.
