Orissa POST
|October 24, 2025
Five candidates including one from Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) were slapped with rejection of their nomination papers for the November 11 Nuapada bypoll during scrutiny, leaving 14 candidates in the fray. They were rejected due to technical errors, sources in the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) said here Thursday.
A total of 19 candidates had filed nominations for the bypoll, out of which eight are from political parties and 11 are Independents.
However, during scrutiny Wednesday, the papers of BSP nominee Rajaram Sahu, Rashtriya Parivartan Dal's Sitaram Behera and three Independents — Kamal Kumar Chhatria, Purusottam Behera and Bhujabal Adabang — were rejected.
The last date for withdrawal of nomination is October 24.
