The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) maintains its hold on the House of Senate, having secured 49 of the 89 seats announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to the Daily Trust, the opposition parties will have to compete for the remaining 40 seats in the red chamber.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won 28 seats, the resurgent Labour Party six, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) each two seats in the red chamber.
So far, the Young Progressive Party (YPP) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) each have one senator.
The ruling party is expected to retain its majority in the 10th Senate with 49 senators. The Red Chamber has 109 seats, three for each state and one for the FCT.
A simple majority party elects presiding officers known as the President of the Senate and the Deputy Senate President.
Meanwhile, last Saturday’s parliamentary election produced more surprises and upsets, as more serving governors were defeated.
Governors Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Darius Ishaku (Taraba), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Simon Lalong (Plateau), and Ben Ayade (Cross River) were defeated in their bids to represent their senatorial districts in the legislature.
Only two governors, Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger and Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, were elected.
The Sokoto South senatorial election, which Governor Aminu Tambuwal contested, was declared invalid due to irregularities such as over-voting.
