There is jubilation in Otukpo, the headquarters of the Benue South senatorial district, following the declaration of Senate President David Mark (PDP) as the winner of the senatorial election.
He defeated former president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Daniel Onjeh of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mark polled a total of 99, 538 while Onjeh scored 50, 115 votes.
Mark has been in the senate for about 16 years since 1999.
He spent 8 years in the senate as a floor member and another 8 years as Senate President.
Onjeh has, however, faulted the results, saying the conduct of the polls was marred by irregularities, ballot snatching and manipulation of figures.
Onjeh insisted that Mark has overstayed in the Senate and that the people of Benue Zone C senatorial district are resolute that he Mark has not enhanced the desired development.
