Ondo State deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to join the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP.
The move is an obvious continuation of the bid to emerge the next governor of the state in the election scheduled for October 10.
Ajayi recently left the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the PDP where he contested the governorship primary.
He, however, lost to Eyitayo Jegede.
Ajayi confirmed his defection to the ZLP on his Twitter handle.
His tweets read: “Today 10th August 2020, I Resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party to join Zenith Labour Party to further my aspirations.
“I appreciate the National Leadership and members of the party for their warm reception and acceptance in the short period I rejoined the party.”
