Political activities have gained momentum after the issuance of nomination papers and candidates have started door-to-door campaigns to convince voters.

Candidates can submit their nomination papers on April 19 and 20. The contestants can withdraw their nomination papers till April 25, after which scrutiny of the papers will begin.
