Hon. Tajudeen Abass has emerged the new Speaker of the House of Representatives after voting ended on Tuesday in the lower federal legislative assembly.
Abbas, the anointed candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as the preferred candidate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, crossed the threshold after a significant majority of the members-elect openly declare their votes for him.
He polled 353 votes to defeat two other contestants for the race, the immediate past Deputy Speaker, Hon Ahmed Wase and Aminu Jaji, both secured three votes each.
Before the election on the floor of the House the Clerk announced 359 lawmakers out of 360 were present for the election.
