The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Wednesday announced party's Goa unit convener Elvis Gomes as candidate from the South Goa Lok Sabha constituency for the upcoming national elections.

In a statement, AAP's in-charge of Goa Durgesh Pathak declared the former bureaucrat as party's candidate from the South Goa seat.

The candidate on North Goa seat will be announced later by the party.

Gomes who was AAP's chief ministerial candidate in state's Assembly elections in 2017, had lost his deposit in the polls from Cuncolim constituency.

The decision to field Gomes from South Goa was taken by AAP's political affairs committee.
