The All Progressives Congress has released a list of 47 senatorial aspirants not cleared to participate in its Senate primary elections ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The list was made public on Monday in a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
According to the party, the screening exercise was conducted by designated committees in line with the APC’s internal guidelines and procedures. However, the party did not disclose the specific reasons for the disqualification of the affected aspirants.
Among the notable names on the list is former Bayelsa East senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, alongside Benson Agadaga from the same senatorial district.
Rivers West recorded one of the highest numbers of uncleared aspirants, including Oyukaye Flag Amachree, Tamunobaabo Wemike Danagogo, Jack-Rich Tein, and Banigo Ipalibo.
Zamfara State also featured prominently, with several aspirants across its senatorial districts failing to secure clearance for the primaries.
The APC’s latest announcement comes amid preparations for its internal party primaries ahead of the 2027 elections, as political activities continue to intensify across the country.
