The governorship ticket of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kwara state has been won by Alhaji Hakeem Lawal, son of former Governor of state, late Alhaji Mohammed Lawal.

Lawal was declared as the winner of the primary election by Mr Olatunji George, the Chairman of the electoral committee of the party.

He successfully polled a total of 607 votes to beat his opponent, Prof. Shuaib Oba Abdulraheem, who got 177 votes.

NAN also reports that accreditation of delegates didn’t start until around 2 pm, while voting started by 5:20 pm.
