A number of candidates withdrew their nominations on the last day of withdrawal for the November 9 Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh.
Now 349 candidates are left in fray for the 68 Vidhan Sabha seats.
Senior Congress leaders and Ministers like Kaul Singh Thakur in Drang, T.S. Bharmauri in Bharmaur, Harbhajan Singh Bhajji in Shimla, Nand Lal in Rampur, Ravi Thakur in Lahaul Spiti, Lakhwinder Rana in Nalagarh and Satpal Raizada in Una will still face the party rebels. Prominent BJP leader Indu Goswami in Palampur would also face Praveen Sharma, a party rebel.
