\nThe chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, on Tuesday issued certificates of return to senators-elect.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The commission also released the full list of members-elect of the 10th Senate.<\/p>\n

The National Assembly elections were held last Saturday, February 25, 2023, alongside the presidential election. A new set of members, however, with returning familiar faces, will sit in the legislative arm of government making up the Red and Green chambers.<\/p>\n

In the recently released list however, eight names are missing, as the commission noted that supplementary elections will be held in the affected senatorial districts.<\/p>\n

The affected districts include; Enugu East, Kebbi North, Plateau Central, Sokoto East, North and South, Yobe South and Zamfara Central.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Yakubu had on Saturday said winners were declared for 423 legislative seats, indicating that supplementary elections would be conducted in 46 other constituencies.<\/div>\n
\nThe elected legislators include 98 out of 109 Senate, and 325 out of 360 House of Representatives seats. Seven parties won in the Senate, while eight parties won House of Representatives seats.<\/div>\n
\nHouse of Representatives-elect are expected to receive theirs on Wednesday at the same venue.<\/p>\n

In terms of party representation for the 10th Assembly, the INEC chief said APC won 57 Senate seats; the PDP, 29; LP, 6; SDP, 2; NNPP, 2; YPP, 1; and APGA, 1. For the lower chamber, the electoral chair said the APC has 162 seats; PDP, 102; LP, 34; NNPP, 18; APGA, 4; ADC, 2; SDP, 2; YPP, 1.<\/p>\n
