Declare Our Candidate As Winner Of Lagos East Senatorial Bye-Election, Says Labour Party

The Labour Party has said that its candidate for the Lagos East senatorial bye-election, Florence Trautman, should be declared as the winner of the election, urging the Independent National Electoral Commission to do the needful.

In a video taken at the announcement of the election results, the Labour Party representative was seen asking the electoral umpire, INEC, to declare its candidate as the winner because they were the only party that conducted a valid primary election. He said the party had submitted petition to INEC before now.

The LP’s candidate, Chief Yeye Florence Trautman, is described as “International Female Gender Activist cum Public Speaker, an American Artiste, Film Producer and agriculturalist/Farmer”.
