The candidature of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar has been finalised from Madha for the Lok Sabha elections. The party boss will himself announce his re-entry into the electoral fray, when the list of candidates is declared, NCP leaders said on Thursday.

The NCP boss and senior leaders met at the YB Chavan Centre to discuss the course of action. The leaders forced him to accept their demand, said former union minister Praful Patel after the conclave. Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar said his uncle would make an official announcement.
