The Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal has struck out the Labour Party and its candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, from the petition of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Olajide Adediran popularly known as Jandor, challenging the outcome of the March 18 governorship election.
The Labour Party had filed a petition that its name be struck out from the PDP’s petition which was granted by the tribunal for being improperly joined.
The Tribunal has also dismissed the preliminary objection of the All Progressives Congress which asked it to dismiss the petition of the PDP.
The Lagos State Governor polled 762,134 votes to beat Rhodes-Vivour, who scored 312,329 votes. Jide Adediran (Jandor) of the PDP came a distant third, polling 62,449 votes.
Meaning, hearing of the judgment is still underway.
