The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released a final list of governorship and House of Assembly candidates in Rivers State.
Reports have it that names of candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are missing on the list.
Recall that a Federal High court in Port Harcourt had nullified the direct and indirect primaries conducted by the two factions of the APC in the state.
The court presided over by Justice Kolawole Omotosho held that both primaries were not conducted according to the law.
Justice Omotosho had also restrained the INEC from recognising Tonye Cole and Magnus Abe as governorship candidates of the APC in the general elections.
Senator Abe was declared the winner of a direct governorship primary conducted by a faction of the party in 2018 after polling 144, 929 votes.
But Cole emerged the winner of an indirect primary held by another faction with 3,329 votes.
