Imphal, May 02 2015 :
With the official notification for the forthcoming election to the six ADCs of Manipur already issued, ticket committees of different political parties have been holding hectic meetings.
As the late date for filing nomination papers has been fixed on May 6, the ruling Congress party has decided to announce names of all its candidates on May 4 .
Meanwhile, it is reported that JD(U) would announce the first batch of its candidates at 1 pm tomorrow.
BJP too is also likely to announce the names of 44 candidates tomorrow who happen to be lone applicants (for party tickets) in their respective constituencies.

Candidates for other constituencies where more than two people applied for party ticket would be selected after holding a meeting of the party's ticket committee.
On the other hand, the State Election Commission has issued a notification today whereby submission of nomination papers at Imphal has been allowed.
Relevant officials would now be stationed at the DRDA Hall of Imphal West DC office complex.
Amana Thaimei is one aspiring candidate seeking BJP ticket to contest the ADC election in 14-Ting Tong Laiyang DCC.
"Whereas I was assured the party ticket all along, it has been learnt that the party leadership has changed their mind at the last moment in favour of another applicant who has fewer supporters", Amana Thaimei told media persons at Manipur Press Club today.
He then questioned the motive behind the sudden change of mind.
Nonetheless, Amana Thaimei maintained that he would contest the ADC election on any other political party's ticket in case he is not given BJP ticket.
