Background
In the previous Senate elections, none of the three incumbent senators were reelected as all three retired from the Senate. In the Central district, Hezekiah Ayuba Dimka held the seat for the APC with 48% of the vote while Ignatius Datong Longjan gained the South district for the APC with 51%. In the North district, Istifanus Gyang held the seat for the PDP with 58% of the vote. The senatorial results were an example of slight APC gains in the state as the party also claimed a House of Representatives seat. Additionally, the APC won a majority in the House of Assembly and incumbent Governor Simon Lalong won re-election in the gubernatorial election. However, Abubakar narrowly won the state in the presidential election.
