Udupi: The last day for the withdrawal of candidature for the Karnataka Assembly Elections saw 7 nominations being withdrawn from five assembly constituencies in the Udupi district on Monday.
The most notable of these was K Krishnamurthy Acharya, who had decided to contest as an independent candidate from the Udupi constituency after being denied a ticket by the Congress party.
After Congress announced its decision to field Prasad Raj Kanchan from Udupi, Krishnamurthy Acharya had filed his nomination papers as an independent candidate after discussing the matter with his supporters. However, he has now withdrawn his nomination papers.
Apart from Acharya, Jayaraj from Kundapura, Deena Prabhakar Salian from Udupi, Abdul Razzaq Shaban Ahmed and Abdul Rahiman from Kaup, and Krishna Shetty and K Harish Adhikari from the Karkala assembly constituency have also withdrawn their nominations.
None of the candidates from the Byndoor assembly segment withdrew their nomination.
As per Election Commission’s notification, April 24 was the last day for the withdrawal of nomination papers.
