The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is ready to control the Senate, even as it leads in the House of Representatives where it has clinched 162 of the 360 seats.
The party now has 57 senators.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) breakdown of results for the February 25, 2023 election, fraught with its controversies like the presidential, shows that supplementary elections will hold in 46 constituencies.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu Mahmood, said 98 out of 109 senate seats have been declared while in the house of representatives, 325 out of 360 seats have been decided.
In the Senate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has 28, while the Labour Party (LP) has six. In the House of Reps PDP has 102 and LP has 34.
On the issues that affected the presidential and National Assembly elections, Yakubu said: “No doubt, last week’s national elections raised a number of issues that require immediate, medium, and long-term solutions. The planning for the election was painstakingly done. However, its implementation came with challenges, some of them unforeseen. The issues of logistics, election technology, behaviour of some election personnel at different levels, attitude of some party agents and supporters added to the extremely challenging environment in which elections are usually held in Nigeria.
“We appreciate the sacrifice and doggedness of Nigerians and the dignity and maturity displayed by political leaders even in the context of divergent views about the election. A lot of lessons have been learnt. Of immediate concern to the Commission is how the identified challenges can be addressed as we approach the concluding phase of the General Election involving the largest number of constituencies i.e. 28 State Governorship elections and 993 State Houses of Assembly seats.
“In last Saturday’s elections, winners have also been declared for 423 national legislative seats while supplementary elections will be held in 46 constituencies. In the Senate, 98 out of 109 seats have been declared. So far, seven political parties have won senatorial seats while in the House of Representatives, 325 out of 360 seats have been won by eight political parties.”
