Fifty-five out of the anticipated 57 All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship candidates have been selected for the upcoming July 12 local government elections in Lagos State.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the candidates emerged during the party’s primaries held on Saturday in Ikeja. While some candidates were chosen through delegate voting, others were selected via consensus arrangements.

Out of 1,539 expected delegates across the state’s 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), 27 delegates voted in each council where the primary was conducted. However, no primaries took place in Yaba and Mainland LCDAs due to ongoing legal issues, resulting in the absence of delegates in those areas.

Announcing the results, the Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, Mr. Babatunde Ogala, confirmed that four candidates emerged through consensus and were ratified by delegates:
