The Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has announced his intention to leave the Labour Party and join the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
Baba-Ahmed made the announcement to newsmen on Tuesday citing internal disagreements and a departure from the party’s founding ideals as reasons for his exit.
He said that his defection would take effect at midnight, and confirmed the PRP as his next political destination.
It will be recalled that Baba-Ahmed ran alongside Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in the 2023 general election
