The battle over the ticket went all the way to Nigeria's Supreme Court, which resolved it in favour of Mr Lawan.

The Senate President, candidate of the All Progressives Congress , was formally declared winner on Sunday night by the Independent National Electoral Commission , which announced that Mr Lawan polled 91,318 votes.

This is the seventh parliamentary election won consecutively by Mr Lawan into the National Assembly since 1999, the first two of which gave him ticket to the House of Representatives while the last five gave him ticket to the Senate. However, in a bid to accommodate Mr Lawan, the APC shoved Mr Lawan aside, conducted a fresh primary, which the senate president won.
