According to him, Adebanjo polled 12 votes to defeat his closest rival, Dr Folaseye Adebayo, who scored six votes while the last aspirant, Mr Kenechukwu Osuji got zero vote.

Declaring Adebanjo winner of the election, Ojukwu, also the LP National Organising Secretary, urged Surulere residents to vote the party candidate in the upcoming election.

He assured that the candidate, if elected, would not let the constituents down.

In his victory speech, Adebanjo, who was also the party candidate for the constituency in the 2023 general elections, promised to give the people of the constituency qualitative representation.

Adebanjo promised the constituents wealth creation and a good deal for the youth.

NAN reports that before the election, the three aspirants signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Peace Deal with the party.

The exercise, under tight security was observed and monitored by some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Recall that INEC had fixed Feb. 3 for the conduct of re-run and bye-elections in nine states, including Surulere Federal Constituency I in Lagos state.

According to the time-table for the poll, conduct of party primary elections, including resolution of disputes that may arise from the primary elections have been fixed to hold between Jan. 5 and Jan. 9.

The public campaigns by political parties will commence on Jan. 18 and end on Feb. 1.

The Surulere seat became vacant due to the resignation of the former occupant, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, who after winning, was appointed by President Bola Tinubu as his Chief of Staff.
