Ngella constituency received 12 nominations, whilst 6 candidates will be contesting for the the Savo-Russell seat.
Election Manager for Central province, Baddley Niavani says only one woman candidate has been nominated for the Ngella constituency.
Niavani says both former MPs - Sir Allan Kemakeza and his brother Mark Kemakeza are re-contesting their MP seats.
He says the Electoral Commission through the office of Attorney General has given advice that Mark Kemakeza is eligible to contest his Ngella constituency despite having faced corruption charges in the Honiara Magistrates Court.
Niavani says the advice was that Mr Kemakeza is innocent until proven guilty - and is free to contest the election.
