The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday announced Senator Ahmed Lawan and Senator George Akume as the only candidates for the position of President and Deputy Senate President.
Thereafter they had a primary election conducted by the National Working Committee of the APC at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
33 Senators were accredited to vote and Lawan got 32 votes while 1 vote was declared invalid.
Returning officer and National Secretary of the Party, Mala Buni
"By the powers conferred on me by the NWC of the APC as the Chief Returning Officer of this election after having certified that Dr. Ahmed Lawan has fulfilled all the requirements of the party, he is hereby nominated as the sole candidate of the party for the position of Senate President of the 8th Senate."
The same procedure took place in the election of Akume. Akume got 32 out of the 33 votes.
In his acceptance speech, Lawan said while he was grateful for the confidence reposed in him by the party and his colleagues, he was saddened that his colleagues "in the other camp" did not participate in the process.
He asked the NWC to help him win over all the other senators in the National Assembly because he would require their support not only to win on Tuesday but also to provide leadership at the legislative arm of the government like he should.
Punch.
