B.J. Penn is refusing to concede the Hawaii governor primary election despite losing the race by a wide margin.
The former UFC champion and Hall of Famer secure enough support to receive the GOP nomination for Hawaii governor, garnering less than 25 percent of the vote in Saturday’s election.
Penn finished well behind former two-time Republican Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona, who secured more than 51 percent of the total vote. Aiona will proceed with his gubernatorial campaign against current Lieutenant Governor Josh Green, who will represent the Democratic party in the Nov. 8 general election.
