Lagos poll: APC produces chairmanship candidates in 55 out of 57 LGAs/LCDAs

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday produced the chairmanship candidates in 55 out of the 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) will conduct local council elections in the state on July 12.

The candidates emerged at the primary elections held in Ikeja.

At the venue, some candidates emerged via consensus while others were selected through voting by delegates.

At least 1,539 delegates were expected to vote chairmanship candidates for the 20 Local Government and 37 LCDAs, but primaries were not conducted for Yaba LCDA and Mainland LCDA over litigations, and so delegates were absent at the venue of the exercise.

27 delegates voted to elect candidate for each of the councils where voting was conducted.
