Edo Chairman of LP, Kelly Ogbaloi, announced this, explaining the decision was taken at a meeting in Benin on Sunday.
Ogbaloi also dispelled insinuation that Alufohai was dropped over discrepancies in her date of birth and the year she finished secondary school in the form EC28 that she submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said the LP will formally present the running mate at an elaborate ceremony, while assuring that LP was poised to win the governorship poll.
