Tinubu Asks Senate To Confirm Chairman, Members Of National Hajj Commission

The National Assembly election conducted on February 25 has seen winners emerge across different party platforms.

Newcomers, sitting senators, and lawmakers who had served in the red chamber in the past have been identified ahead of the inauguration of the 10th Assembly in June.

So far, the All Progressives Congress (APC) won 57 senatorial seats, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 29, the Labour Party (LP) got six, while the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) got two each.

Also, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Young Progressive Party (YPP) have one seat each.

However, none of the current six female senators would make it to the 10th Senate because they either lost their elections or did not contest at all.

No Female Senator

None of the current seven female senators would make it to the 10th Senate as a result of loss or failure to seek re-election.
