The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the names of 47 senatorial aspirants who failed to secure clearance to take part in the party’s Senate primaries for the 2027 general elections.
The names were released on Monday in a statement issued by the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
He explained that the screening was carried out by the party’s screening committees based on APC rules and procedures.
Among the notable names on the list is Ben Murray-Bruce, who previously represented Bayelsa East in the Senate.
