We are taking a look at the upper chamber of the National Assembly and how the political parties fared.

Before the February 25 polls, 55 of the 109 Senators failed in their bids to secure return tickets from the various party primaries held in the country. Some lost the primaries others aspired for higher political offices among other reasons.
