See Why David Mark's Election As Senate Leader Will Not Stand

Immediate past Senate President David Mark, today emerged the Senate Leader in the dramatic election that saw Senator Bukola Saraki "elected" as Senate President and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu of the opposition PDP returned to office as Deputy Senate President.

Mr. Mark is a PDP senator from Benue State in North Central Nigeria, the geo political zone as Mr. Saraki, the new Senate President.

However, a tweeter user, @ibsanusi has come up with a page of the Senate's Standing Orders 2007 as amended which defines who occupies which position in the Senate.

The Senate Standing Order 28 (1) says:

There shall be a Majority Leader of the Senate, the Majority Leader shall be a Senator nominated from the party with the largest number of Senators.

Going by the above Standing Order, the election of Senator David Mark as the Senate Leader is an issue to contest.
