The Senate has a total of 109 members, out of which the Peoples Democratic Party had 89 senators before the elections.
While some PDP senators had lost at the primaries for the April polls, only 26 of them were re-elected to serve in the seventh National Assembly to be inaugurated on June 5.
Also, only six out of the All Nigeria Peoples Party’s 11 senators will be returning to their seats in the senate, just as only three out of eight old Action Congress of Nigeria senators will return.
Senator Chris Anyanwu who defected from the PDP to the All Progressive Grand Alliance was also re-elected; same goes for Senator Ehigie Uzamere who dumped the PDP for the ACN.
Despite its huge loss, the PDP still has the highest number of seats with 71 senators, but was two senators short of the two-third majority lead.
The ACN has 18 senators. The Congress for Progressive Change has seven; ANPP, eight and four for Labour Party.
The ACN swept the polls in the South-West region and made inroads into the North-West and North-Central.
