Lagos 2023: Rhodes-Vivour wins Labour Party guber substitution primaries

Rhodes-Vivour polled 111 votes while Salvador got 102 votes.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour won the Lagos State Labour Party (LP) governorship substitution primary election on Wednesday in Ikeja, Lagos.

Mr. Rhodes-Vivour, who defected to the party last month from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), polled 111 votes while his opponent Moshood Salvador got 102 votes.

Mr. Salvador also defected to the party from the APC last month.

The party had, however, held its primaries months ago in which Ifagbemi Awamaridi, the state chairperson, emerged the governorship candidate.

Mr. Awamaridi, who has been recognised by Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) as the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, has said he would not withdraw his candidature.
