Annamalai's Nomination Approved

Amidst scrutiny and objections from opposition parties concerning improper filing, BJP MP candidate Annamalai's nomination form received approval from District Election Officer Kranthi Kumar Pati.


Coimbatore: TheCoimbatore District Collector's office was the center of attention as political representatives gathered for the scrutiny of nomination papers, today. 

Amid this crucial process, BJP's candidate for Coimbatore, Annamalai, faced a moment of tension as opposition parties raised objections to his nomination form, alleging discrepancies, including a failure to properly disclose previous criminal records, as required.

District Election Officer and Coimbatore District Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati, overseeing the scrutiny process in the presence of representatives from various political factions and legal advisors, initially found one of Annamalai's two nominations to be invalid. 



However, after thorough examination, Pati dismissed the opposition's claims, stating there were no substantial grounds to reject Annamalai's nomination.

The approval of Annamalai's candidacy came as a relief to the BJP camp, which, like other political parties, had already kicked off their campaign trails. The resolution of this issue not only clears the path for Annamalai's electoral contest but also underscores the robustness of the nomination scrutiny process, ensuring all candidates meet the necessary legal and procedural standards.

With the nomination window now closed, the focus shifts to the campaign efforts as parties intensify their outreach to voters, marking the next phase of the electoral process in Coimbatore.
