Candidate → A person chosen by a political party to run for an election (Most appropriate choice). Nominee → Someone who has been proposed for a position, but the term is broader and can apply to non-electoral situations as well. Aspirant → Someone who desires or aims for a position, but it does not necessarily mean they have been officially selected. Contender → Someone competing for a position but does not imply official selection by a party.
