The All Progressives Congress has released the names of 47 senatorial aspirants who were not cleared to participate in its Senate primary elections ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The list was made public on Monday in a press statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.

According to the statement, “The screening exercise was conducted by the Party’s Screening Committees in accordance with established procedures and guidelines.”

Notable among those not cleared is Ben Murray-Bruce, a former senator who represented Bayelsa East, alongside Benson Agadaga, who also contested the same district.
