The procedure by which the Labour Party in Delta State replaced its governorship candidate has been completed successfully.
The former primary winner and former party candidate withdrew from the governorship race in an event conducted at the party headquarters on August 5, 2022, creating the chance for a new governorship flag bearer of the party to emerge.
When the former governorship front-runner, Mr. Vincent Okwuokei, withdrew voluntarily, Dcn. Ken Pela emerged as the new official candidate of the Labour Party, which was seen by members of INEC.
He said; he did that on personal conviction and was not in any doubt that he had done the right thing because he was certain that they both nursed similar vision, to take Delta State to a better place by running an all inclusive and accountable government of the people.
In a short speech, the new LP Guber candidate for the 2023 general election for Delta State; Dcn. Ken Pela called on all party faithfuls and Deltans alike to join him in the work towards victory in 2023, saying that the job to make Delta State better wasn’t a lonesome task.
