Nigerian elections: INEC announces the names of newly elected senators [Entire list]

The list of senators-elect for the 10th National Assembly has been made public by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), following the completion of the presidential and national assembly elections two weeks ago.

This is taking place in the middle of the controversy surrounding the results of the elections on February 25, 2023, particularly the presidential vote results.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) disagreed with the outcome as declared by INEC and want to contest it in court.

In spite of numerous allegations of electoral fraud, the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared the winner of the presidential election by INEC.

There is also the widespread perception that APC candidates rigged the elections for the various Senate seats they now assert to have won.

Senators-elect from a few new political parties, such as the Labour Party, LP, who will serve in the tenth Senate, are included on the list that INEC released on Monday evening.

The PDP and APC continue to be the two most important political parties, nonetheless.
