Senate President Declares Vacancies and Swears in New Senator; APC Strength Reaches 57 Seats

SHARE

Senate President Godswill Akpabio declared the seats of two Senators vacant—Dave Umahi and Ibrahim Geidam—who were appointed as ministers.

This declaration aligns with constitutional provisions, prompting by-elections in Ebonyi-South and Yobe-East districts.

Additionally, Simon Lalong, former Plateau State Governor, was sworn in as the Senator representing Plateau South after a court ruling affirmed his victory.

The APC’s strength in the Senate rose to 57 seats, with notable shifts due to defections and court judgments.

The current standing shows APC at 57 seats, while the opposition holds 49 seats, distributed among various parties.

Vacancies in three districts await by-elections supervised by INEC.
