K1 de Ultimate’s daughter, Dami Marshal, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Surulere Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ms Marshal won the APC ticket during the party primaries held in Lagos on Wednesday. Party sources said the exercise was consensus driven after several aspirants reportedly stepped down in her favour.
Following her emergence, she expressed appreciation to party leaders, delegates, supporters and residents of the constituency for trusting her with the ticket. She is a legal practitioner and serves as senior special assistant to Lagos State Governor on tourism, arts and culture.
In a statement shared on her Instagram page, she described her victory as “a triumph for democracy, progress and the people”.
“The voice of the people has spoken, and it has spoken clearly. This triumph is not just a victory for one person; it is a victory for democracy, for progress, and for every constituent who believes in a brighter future for our communities,” the lawyer wrote.
In another video message posted on Thursday, she thanked APC stakeholders and other aspirants for their support during the primaries.
“Dear good people of Surulere Constituency II, leaders, constituents and stakeholders. Thank you, fellow aspirants. Thank you for coming out en masse to vote for me, Damilola Ayinde Marshall ESQ, at the just concluded APC primaries,” she stated.
She also pledged to focus on people oriented legislation and development if elected into office.
“I do not take your trust and confidence in me for granted. Thank you for making me the flag bearer of our great party, the APC, to represent my constituency, Surulere Constituency II, at the forthcoming general election in 2027
“I promise to represent my community and my constituency diligently. I promise to move motions that will help in the development of my constituency and Lagos State at large,” she noted.
Dami Marshal, 31, has built her public profile around youth inclusion, increased female participation in governance and grassroots engagement. She has also used the slogan “Youth Lokan” during her campaign, positioning herself as part of a younger generation seeking greater representation in Lagos politics.
The APC continues its primaries across Lagos State as it selects candidates for the 2027 general elections into the Lagos State House of Assembly and other positions, as the party consolidates preparations for the next electoral cycle.
