The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has released a list of 14 House of Representatives aspirants who were screened but disqualified from participating in Saturday's primary election, with the party citing failure to meet its established screening criteria.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied return tickets to two serving Rivers lawmakers, Awaji Abiante and Boma Goodhead, ahead of its primaries.

The primaries, held across the 10 federal constituencies in the state using the Option A4 voting system, produced a combination of returning lawmakers and fresh candidates.
