The Bayelsa West seats became vacant at the Senate following the victory of Sen. Douye Diri and Lawrence Ewhrujakpo at the Supreme Court to emerge as governor and deputy governor of Bayelsa respectively.
It was however reported that violence marred conduct of the election in Ekeremor and Sagbama communities, headquarters of Ekeremor and Sagbama local government areas, respectively, in the state.
