Nollywood star, OlusolaDesmond Elliot, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has won his re-election bid for Surulere 1 State Constituency in Lagos.
The candidate came under a severe storm from many young voters who accused him of siding with the older generation during the EndSARS protests. This followed an address he gave in the house asking for regulation of social media.
He has had to apologise twice for the incident after he was severely excoriated on social media.
Against his fears, he successfully secured more than enough votes to return to the house.
The candidate polled 17,837 votes to defeat his closest rival, Adebayo Bode of Labour Party who polled 7,822 votes.
This would be Desmond Elliot’s third term in Lagos State House of Assembly.
