The duo were the only contenders for the position. Mr Lawan prevailed with 79 votes to Mr Ndume’s 28.

However, while the votes were still being counted, Ndume stood up from his seat to shake the hands of Ahmed Lawan and congratulated him amidst cheers from other Lawmakers.

Ahmed was the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Shortly afterwards, the Yobe senator was announced winner of the election.

The election of Senate President was held at the first session of the Senate on Tuesday.
