Senate President David Mark
survived a grilling electoral battle to pick the ticket for the Benue
South Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
Earlier report had suggested that Mark, representing the Peoples
Democratic 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.
