Andhra Pradesh State Election Commissioner N. Ramesh Kumar on Sunday said he would sympathetically consider requests by candidates, who claimed to have withdrawn their nominations for elections to urban local bodies (ULBs) under pressure, to allow them to enter the fray.
The commission would try to give such candidates the benefit of the doubt subject to reports by District Collectors.
Mr. Kumar said the requests by some candidates to permit them to contest the elections in spite of the rejection of their nominations during scrutiny and similar requests by those who did not file nominations in the stipulated time, would be given due consideration but only within the framework of the election law.
