Desmond Elliot spotted on movie set after losing APC primary race
The Lagos lawmaker and former Nollywood actor has appeared on a film production following his defeat in the APC primary election for 2027.
The Lagos State House of Assembly member for Surulere Constituency I, Desmond Elliot, has surfaced on a movie set in recent photographs, suggesting a possible return to entertainment following his electoral loss. During what seemed to be ongoing film production, the legislator-turned-actor appeared, sparking renewed curiosity about his entertainment work after devoting years to legislative service.
Elliot's presence on set comes after his failed attempt to obtain the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the 2027 general elections. Following his defeat in the party's primary contest, commentators have begun to wonder whether the former lawmaker plans to resume full-time acting or balance commitments across both fields.
Circulating across social media are images capturing Elliot during production, including shots alongside fellow performer Ibrahim Chatta on location. The footage has sparked lively conversation among internet audiences, with numerous users expressing interest about watching the once-prominent actor return to screen roles.
A clip from the production showed Elliot dressed as a character, though specific project information remains unavailable from current sources. Before his shift toward political life, Elliot established himself prominently in the film industry.
Since joining the Lagos State House of Assembly representing his constituency, he has concentrated on legislative responsibilities. His unexpected appearance at a film location arrives at a pivotal moment, as his electoral hopes for 2027 have met setback, creating uncertainty regarding future professional directions.
