The new majority bloc of 12 senators must secure one more member to fully resolve the leadership dispute and end uncertainty over who truly heads the chamber, analysts said on Thursday, as reported by BusinessWorld .
Political observers noted that the current 12-member coalition lacks the necessary majority to definitively claim control of the Senate presidency, leaving the chamber in a state of flux. The addition of a 13th senator would provide the simple majority required to elect a new Senate president and stabilize leadership.
The leadership dispute has raised questions about legislative efficiency and the Senate's ability to pass priority measures. Analysts expect negotiations to intensify in the coming days as the bloc seeks to persuade an uncommitted senator to join its ranks.
