The senatorial seat for the district is expected to become vacant in 2023.
According to Senator Braimoh, the incumbent Senator, Francis Alimikhena, who is from Etsako axis eight years of two tenure will terminate by 2023 thereafter power should shift to another axis in the zone, in the spirit of the fairness and inclusiveness among the 3 clans that makes up the Senatorial District.
Senator Braimoh, however, revealed that they intend to do so under the PDP banner, submitting that it is a sign of their implicit confidence in the ability of the party to create a level playing field for all interested aspirants.

According to the former senator, “Owan will vie for the Senatorial ticket in 2023 under the PDP platform. The reason is basically to right the wrong of past marginalization visited on our people”.
