Fourteen candidates are left in the fray for the Atmakur Assembly byelection scheduled for June 23, as one candidate withdrew his candidature on Thursday.
SPSR Nellore Joint Collector and Returning Officer M.N. Harendra Prasad said an independent candidate, B. Subba Reddy, decided to withdraw from the contest. The returning officer has already rejected the nominations of 13 other candidates as the papers were not found in order during scrutiny.
