The APC Senate Presidency Election was conducted at The International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Lawan, got 32 votes out of 33 accredited votes while 1 was declared invalid.
Thereafter, He was finally nominated as the sole candidate of the party for the position of Senate President of the 8th Senate, by the Returning officer and National Secretary of the Party, Mala Buni.
In his acceptance speech, Lawan said while he was grateful for the confidence reposed in him by the party and his colleagues, he was saddened that his colleagues “in the other camp” did not participate in the process.
He asked the NWC to help him win over all the other senators in the National Assembly because he would require their support not only to win on Tuesday but also to provide leadership at the legislative arm of the government like he should.
