These are partial results because a number of districts have yet to vote (48 House districts and 14 Senate districts)
HOUSE:
PDP = 53% of seats (used to have 77%)
ACN = 20% of seats (used to 7%)
CPC = 13% of seats (no seats last election)
ANPP = 11% of seats (used have 15%)
SENATE:
PDP = 63% of seats (used to have 85%)
ACN = 18% of seats (used to be 6%)
ANPP = 10% of seats (used to be 7%)
CPC = 7% of seats (used to be 1%)
