APC IS AHEAD IN THE NASS ELECTION WITH 57 SENATE SEATS AND 162 HOUSE SEATS

The breakdown of seats gained by political parties in the National Assembly has been made public by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

On February 25, the commission held elections for the National Assembly and the presidency.

Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of INEC, stated that eight political parties produced MPs in the election during a meeting with RECs on Saturday in Abuja.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), the People's Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Labor Party (LP), the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), the African Democratic Party (ADC), and the Young People's Party are the parties (YPP).

In the nation, there are 18 recognized parties.

Mr. Yakubu claims that 425 of the 469 national legislature seats have had their elections concluded and the results announced.

According to him, 325 out of 360 seats in the House of Representatives have been declared, compared to 98 out of 109 seats in the Senate.

According to him, the APC gained 57 seats in the Senate, while the PDP only received 29 seats.

According to him, LP and NNPP have 34 and 18 seats apiece, APGA has four seats, ADC has two, SDP has two, and YPP has one.

The APC has the majority in the upper chamber with 57 seats, although it has not yet done so in the lower House. For a party to hold a majority in the House, 180 seats are necessary.

Mr. Yakubu announced that in order to fill the remaining seats in the National Assembly, supplemental elections will be held in 46 constituencies. Yet, he omitted to mention the exercise's date.
