After a huge victory in Punjab Elections, the Aam Aadmi Party announced that they will be nominating cricketer Harbhajan Singh and Delhi MLA Raghav Chadha from Punjab. 

Harbhajan, who has taken over 700 wickets in an international career spanning over 18 years, recently retired from cricket. 

“A total of 5 nominations were filed - all of them were from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Today was the last date for withdrawal of nominations, no withdrawals were made. So, all the five have been declared winners unopposed (to Rajya Sabha),” news agency ANI quoted Returning Officer Surinder Pal as saying.
