The election took place at the 147th Inter-Parliamentary Union General Assembly in Luanda, Angola, according to a statement by the Special Assistant (Media/Communication) to the Senate president, Anietie Ekong in Abuja.

He said Senator Akpabio was overwhelmingly voted for by delegates across the world to emerge as an Executive Committee member of the Parliamentary Union with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland for a three-year mandate.
