As results of the senatorial election trickled in, political observers were left in shock as many incumbents failed to secure a return ticket in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The newly elected senatorial candidates of the PDP will slug it out in next year’s general election against those in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 15 other political parties.
With the main opposition PDP looking to oust the APC at the centre, a majority in the National Assembly will serve as a moral booster to the party.
