The All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party leaders in the senate are still laying claims to having the majority of members in the red chamber.
However , an independent analysis by
The PUNCH based on the gale of defections in the chamber late last year showed that the APC is still maintaining the lead with 56 senators , closely followed by the PDP with 46 members .
Others are African Democratic Congress ( 3), Social Democratic Party ( 1 ) , All Progressives Grand Alliance ( 1 ) and the Peoples Redemption Party ( 1 ) .
It was gathered that many senators who defected had not notified the leadership of the senate in writing , hence the confusion .
