Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, who defected to Labour Party last month after losing at the PDP primaries, has emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the party.
Mr Rhodes-Vivour, 39, defeated Moshood Salvador at the Labour Party governorship substitution primaries held in Ikeja, Lagos, Wednesday.
He polled 111 delegate votes against Mr Salvador’s 102.
Mr Salvador, a former PDP chairman in the state, also defected to Labour Party last month.
The deputy national chairman, Lamidi Apapa, announced that 215 accredited voters cast their votes in the primary election.
The election recorded two void votes.
A third prospective guber candidate, Babatunde Gbadamosi, did not participate in the primaries.
Mr Gbadamosi, a former member of the PDP, defected to the Labour Party and declared his intention to run for governor in 2023.
