The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has gained more Senators in the 9th Senate upsetting the current equation of Senate membership and reduced drastically the number of All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators.
Igbere TV reports that three Senators were added to the existing number of PDP senators following the Supreme Court ruling which sacked all elected APC Candidates in Zamfara State.
Following the Shakeup, below is the current make up of Senators in the Senate as of this day, June 3, 2019.
PDP: 51
APC: 55
YPP: 1
Under Duress: 1
Outstanding: 1
This will go a long way in the determination of who becomes the next Senate President.
