Just in: Labour Party names Doyin Okupe Peter Obi’s interim running mate

Doyin Okupe, a former senior special assistant on public affairs to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has been selected as the “placeholder” vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Okupe confirmed the development on Friday during an interview on Channels TV evening programme, Politics Today.

He will be standing in as the VP candidate in order to meet up with the June 17 deadline issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for parties to submit the list of their candidates for the 2023 general polls.

Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra, is the presidential candidate of the party.
