This is a live update from the hallowed chamber. In the next few hours, the winner would be announced. 

No candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared intention to run for either of the two positions. But with the PDP supporting Sen.  Ndume, a deal may have been reached with him on the Deputy Senate Presidency seat.

The winners among the two major contenders, Ali Ndume and Lawan will be revealed after an election which is scheduled to hold by 10 a.m.

Apc national working committee and the party governors forum are strongly pulling support for Lawan while PDP is backing Ali Ndume.
