==Background==
In terms of the previous Senate elections, only one of the three incumbent senators were returned as [[Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi]] (APC-[[Niger North Senatorial District|North]]) (APC-West) were re-elected while [[David Umaru]] (APC-[[Niger East Senatorial District|East]]) and [[Sani Mohammed]] (APC-[[Niger South Senatorial District|South]]) lost renomination. In the North district, Abdullahi was re-elected with 65% of the vote; in the open East seat, [[Sani Musa]] held the seat for the APC with 65% of the vote while as [[Muhammad Bima Enagi]] held the South seat for the APC with 61%. These results were a part of the continuation of the Niger APC's dominance as most [[2019 Nigerian House of Representatives elections in Niger State|House of Representatives]] seats were won by the party, it [[2019 Niger State House of Assembly election|won]] a majority in the House of Assembly, and Buhari won the state in the [[2023 Nigerian presidential election|presidential election]].
