2019 Nigerian House of Assembly Election
Senate
Currently, 64 incumbent Senators will not be returning as members of the Ninth Senate, having been defeated during the elections. While the APC will have a simple majority of votes in the Senate, it will not have a supermajority (74 votes), meaning it cannot push through major bills on its own. Three Senate seats have yet to be filled.
Senate President Bukola Saraki (PDP) was defeated in Kwara Central by the APC candidate.
