While most people in the entertainment industry might have gotten their fingers burnt in their quests to obtain their party tickets, the reverse was the case for Entertainment mogul and Chairman of Silverbird Television as he emerged as the candidate of the PDP for the Bayelsa East Senatorial district. 

Ben Murray-Bruce who is also a former Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority defeated three others overwhelmingly to be declared winner. While Bruce polled 138 votes, his close rival Mr. Anthony Ikoli (SAN) had 11 votes. Others didn't do any better as Mr. Nelson Belief got two votes and Mrs. Irene Digitemie Opuene polled four votes.

Also in Bayelsa, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Oil and Gas, Downstream Sector, Senator Emmanuel Paulker won three others to get the chance to recontest for his Bayelsa Central Senatorial district.
