Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has won the primary election rerun of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, Lagos.
He won the election with 24 votes against his challenger Sam Aiboni, who scored only five votes.
The rerun was scheduled for today after the first primary last month was cancelled. The artiste is seen as a favourite to clinch the ticket since he joined the main opposition party earlier this year.

The primary was rescheduled after a dispute between both Wellington and Aiboni compelled the party’s leadership to intervene from Abuja.
The leadership of the party subsequently ordered that a rerun should be held.
Recall that Wellington won the initial ballot with 27 votes to two against Aiboni, a Lagos businessman in the previous primary election.
