"We have received nomination of Qamar Ahmad this afternoon," Principal Secretary, Assembly and Returning Officer for Rajya Sabha elections Pradeep Kumar Dubey said.
However, unlike other candidates in fray, Ahmad's proposer did not include MLAs, but individuals, Dubey said.
"We have given a checklist to Qamar in which it has been mentioned that his proposers are not valid," Dubey said.
Scrutiny of the nomination papers would be done tomorrow, he said.
While SP has fielded Ram Gopal Yadav, state cabinet minister Azam Khan's wife Tazeen Fatima, Neeraj Shekhar, who is son of former prime minister Chandrashekhar, Ravi Prakash Verma, Javed Ali Khan and Chandrapal Singh Yadav, Congress has nominated PL Punia.
