New Delhi BJP said it would finalise its Lok Sabha candidates for all seats of Delhi and more than half of Uttar Pradesh in the party's central election committee meeting on January 28 and 29.

"I have called the next CEC meeting of BJP on January 28 and 29. We will finalise our Lok Sabha candidates for almost all the seats," BJP President Rajnath Singh told reporters.

Candidates for the seven Lok Sabha constituencies of Delhi would be declared after the CEC meeting, BJP sources said.

Names of former BJP Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Vijay Kumar Malhotra, party general secretary Vijay Goel and Arun Jaitley are doing the rounds, a BJP MP said, preferring anonymity, said.

BJP candidates for 40 Lok Sabha seats from UP would also be declared. The party is in the process of choosing another candidate from Eta, after the declared candidate Kalyan Singh, resigned from the party last week.

The CEC may hold back declaration of candidates for some seats where more than one BJP leader is keen on contesting.

BJP has already declared four lists and finalized candidates for 36 Lok Sabha seats till now. They include BJP Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani (Gandhinagar), Rajnath Singh (Ghaziabad), Yashwant Sinha (Hazaribagh), Navjot Singh Sidhu (Amritsar), Vinod Khanna (Hoshiyarpur), party vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi (Rampur), Ashok Pradhan (Bulandshahr).
