The three candidates are - Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy (Kovur), Kurukondla Lakshmi Priya (Venkatagiri) and Nelavala Vijayasree (Sullurupeta).
Both Prashanthi and Lakshmi Priya are home makers while Vijayasree is a doctor by profession. All the three are new to politics though they belong to political family.
