NOIDA: Thirteen applicants, including two independents, have been left in the fray for the Gautam Buddh Nagar Lok Sabha election on the ultimate day for withdrawal of nomination Thursday, said poll officials.
Twenty-one applicants had filed the papers but the nominations of eight of them, including Aam Aadmi Party's Shweta Sharma, have been rejected by means of the returning officer in compliance with the Election Commission tips, they said.

In 2014, 24 applicants had contested for the Gautam Budh Nagar seat with 22 of them forfeiting their deposits. In 2009, 26 applicants have been in the fray from right here.
Those left in the fray for the Noida seat are its sitting BJP MP Mahesh Sharma, 59, Congress candidate Arvind Kumar Singh, 30, and BSP chief Satveer, 37. Satveer has the backing of the Samajwadi Party also.
