The Labour Party (LP), Yusuf Asamah Kadiri has been officially announced as the running mate for its governorship candidate, Olumide Akpata, in the upcoming Edo State elections.
This confirmation follows a favourable ruling from the Federal High Court in Abuja, which validated Asamah’s candidacy.
The court’s decision came after a thorough review of the nomination process, concluding that Asamah’s selection met and exceeded all constitutional and legal requirements.
This ruling effectively mandates the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to acknowledge and process Asamah’s substitution, replacing the initially announced running mate, Oluyinka Alufohai.
Asamah, who hails from Auchi, now stands as the LP’s deputy governorship candidate. With the court’s endorsement, his name will be officially listed by INEC among the candidates for the forthcoming elections.
