Four of the 14 nominations filed for nine seats were withdrawn while the fifth was rejected on technical grounds leaving just nine candidates for nine seats.

The last date for withdrawal of nominations is Thursday after which all the nine candidates would be declared elected.

While the Shiv Sena has fielded Thackeray and Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council Neelam Gorhe, the NCP nominated Amol Mitkari and Shashikant Shinde while the Congress has just one candidate, Rajesh Rathod.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
