Waec Model Questions Vol1 2022 Government Question 24

A country has a bicameral legislature consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate has 90 members, each serving a six‑year term, with one‑third of the seats renewed every two years. The House has 300 members elected for four‑year terms, with all seats contested at each election. In the 2024 general election, the House is fully contested and a Senate election is held for the seats whose terms expire that year. Party Y wins 45 % of the votes in the House election and obtains exactly the same proportion of seats. In the Senate election, Party Y wins 40 % of the contested seats. Assuming no changes in the composition of the remaining Senate seats, how many legislators (Senate + House) from Party Y will be in office after the 2024 elections?
