2. In July 2019, Abia South Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe became Minority Leader; however, Abaribe resigned after defecting to APGA in May 2022. The next month, PDP leadership chose Aduda as his replacement.
3. In July 2019, Taraba South Senator Emmanuel Bwacha became Deputy Minority Leader; however, Bwacha resigned after switching to the APC in February 2022. PDP leadership chose Lau as his replacement.

5. In July 2019, Zamfara North Senator Sahabi Yaú became Deputy Minority Whip, however, Yaú resigned before switching to the APC in June 2021. PDP leadership chose Sokoto South Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Danbaba as his replacement. However, Abdullahi Danbaba defected too, in April 2022, so PDP leadership chose Kaduna South Senator Danjuma Laah for the position.
