Labour Party Loses All Senate Seats in Nigeria Due to Defections and Court Rulings

The Labour Party in Nigeria has lost all its Senate seats due to defections and court rulings, reducing its representation in the Senate to zero. The defections were primarily driven by internal leadership crises and declining political fortunes.

Key defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) include senators like Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi, Neda Imasuen, and Kelvin Chukwu. Court rulings, including the sacking of Darlington Nwokeocha and the declaration of Augustin Akobundu as the rightful winner of a Senate seat, further compounded the party's woes.

The current composition of the Senate shows APC holding a comfortable majority.
