Bukola Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State, has been elected the president of the eighth Senate.
Mr. Saraki of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated his
party's preferred candidate, Ahmed Lawan, to emerge the Senate
president.
He was nominated by Sani Yerima and seconded by Dino Melaye.
Mr. Saraki has been sworn into office.
The election for the office of Senate Deputy President is still
ongoing. Immediate past deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, is contesting against
Ali Ndume from Borno State.
He is expected to win the race following a power sharing deal that
had the minority but influential PDP back the new senate president,
Bukola Saraki.
