Senior Congress leader and defence minister AK Antony is all set to be re-elected to the Rajya Sabha from Kerala as his nomination was found in order.


Two candidates of CPI-M, TN Seema and KN Balagopal are also to get elected to the Upper House as their nominations were also accepted after scrutiny today.


Only three candidates have entered the fray for as many Rajya Sabha berths falling vacant.


A formal declaration would be made after expiry of deadline for withdrawal.


The vacancies were caused by retirement of Antony, PV Abdul Wahab of IUML and A Vijayaraghavan of CPI-M.
