Senate
President David Mark survived a grilling electoral battle to pick the
ticket for the Benue South Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
Earlier

Party, who is seeking his fifth term in the Senate, might have been
defeated.
Latest result has however indicated
that the Senate President has survived his toughest battle ever since he
started contesting the ticket from the zone since the return to
democratic rule in the country in 1999.
Meanwhile, Governor
Aliyu Wammakko of Sokoto State(APC); his Plateau State counterpart,
Jonah Jang(PDP); Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji(PDP); and Governor
Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State(APC), have won their Senatorial election
to represent their respective zones in their states.
