Chandigarh, 14 December, 2024: Today marks the final day for candidates to withdraw nominations for the Municipal Corporation Elections scheduled on December 21. Nominations can be withdrawn until 3 pm, after which the official number of contesting candidates in each ward will be confirmed.

Independent candidates will receive election symbols following the withdrawal process, enabling them to begin campaigning.

Yesterday, the scrutiny committee for the Amritsar Municipal Corporation Elections reviewed 709 nominations, rejecting 53. With 656 candidates remaining in the fray, a significant number of withdrawals is expected today, which will further narrow down the candidate list.

Meanwhile, all major political parties have finalized their candidates for the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation Elections.

Nominations were submitted by December 12, and the Election Commission’s report revealed late last night that 19 nominations were rejected, including four from BJP, three from Akali Dal, and one from Congress.
