None of the candidates declared a party
The Republican Party.
This means that, during a regular or by election, the parties which will be on the voting list nominate a candidate from their own ranks (that is, they pick someone to represent them in the election) to 'contest' (which means to fight or compete) for the position which is being elected. ============================================================= In Canada, a person is free to join the political party of his or her choosing by paying a nominal membership fee. That person's membership is usually assigned to the riding association in the riding in which that person lives (although there are usually provisions for her or his membership to be assigned to another riding association if s/he wishes). In every riding in Canada there are associations for the major political parties. (The exception is the Bloc Québecois, which only contests elections in Quebec.) Prior to an election, each party's riding association, in each riding, holds a meeting of its members. It is usually called a "nomination meeting." At the various nomination meetings, the members of each riding association choose the person who will be that party's candidate in the election. During the election, there are at least three candidates contesting (i.e., trying to win) the election in each riding, and often several more. There is a process by which a political party can be "registered" by the government. Registration permits the candidate to have the name of his or her party alongside his or her name. Registration also permits the government to partially fund the operations of each registered political party. The situation is usually quite similar at the provincial level.
Political parties in India are recognized by The Election Commission. This Commission recognizes the party, provides it a ballot paper and give Code of Conduct to the parties.
Each of our political parties elect a leader orreaffirm their current leader at a party convention. When an election is called each party leader runs in their own riding and nation wide. After the votes are in, each riding counts the ballots and the win goes to the person with the most votes. At the end the party with the most elected candidates wins and the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. The leader of the party with the second most votes becomes the Leader of the Official Opposition.

A partisan election system is a type of electoral system where political parties play a central role in the nomination and election of candidates. In this system, candidates are affiliated with specific political parties and their party affiliation is typically listed on the ballot. Voters often choose candidates based on their party affiliation and party platforms. This system contrasts with nonpartisan election systems where candidates do not run as representatives of political parties.
The sounds like a primary election.
In a representative form of government, most nations have political parties. Thus, in a General election (that is, the election to chose the government representative), a political party puts forth a member of their party to contest in the election. A political party needs some method for choosing the party member to stand in the General election, and this is what we use Primary elections for.

In the US the elections are called primaries as they are the first step to the election of the final candidate. In the presidential elections Barack Obama first had to beat Hillary Clinton among others before facing John McCain who had beaten other candidates from the Republican party.
