The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has won a commanding majority of the ninth Senate that will be inaugurated on June 9, 2019.
According to the results officially announced for the February 23 National Assembly elections across the country, APC won 63 seats while the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 37 seats.
The Young Progressive Party (YPP) is the only other party outside of the two dominant ones that’ll resume to the ninth Senate with only one seat.
The upper legislative chamber has a total of 109 seats with 3 Senators from each of the 36 states plus one from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
As of the time of publishing, INEC has not yet officially listed the winners of eight seats with the results of supplementary elections held for seven of those seats yet to be officially announced.
The seat for the Imo West Senatorial district is also currently up in the air because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has determined that its official was forced to announce the state’s outgoing governor, Rochas Okorocha, as the winner.
Of the 101 seats that have gone to the APC, PDP or YPP, the candidate for Bauchi South is yet to be determined although the seat has been won by the APC.
