HEY BUDDY HERE IS UR ANSWER
Candidates for public offices are nominated by political parties. Candidate nomination is a privilege given to a political party[i]. However, the right to nominate a candidate is regulated by the legislature. It is not a constitutional right[ii]. When a local committee fails to nominate candidates for the local office, the nomination will be conducted by the state executive committee[iii].
Generally, the nomination of candidates for public office is regulated and controlled by statutory provisions. Some times election regulations are imposed by a state as a necessity. However such regulations cannot be unconstitutional or erroneous. Any statute that imposes an unreasonable restriction on the nature of petition like the mode and the manner of obtaining signature will be declared invalid. However, a statute that imposes different time periods for obtaining the signature for independent candidates and party candidates will not be declared invalid on the ground of unreasonableness. Similarly, statutes imposing restrictions on the number of signatures to be obtained by a candidate from a district have not been declared unconstitutional.
In the absence of a statutory provision, the process of nominating candidates are regulated by party conventions and party rules. Thus, a party committee authorized by a statute can nominate a candidate for election regulated by party convention and party rules.
