Parties select their candidates in different ways. In some countries, such as the USA, members and supporters of a party choose its candidates. Now more and more countries are following this method. In other countries like India, top party leaders choose candidates for contesting elections.
The national committee assigns leaders to go to certain states to help campaign for their party's candidate, especially in states where the opposition may be stronger.
The election committee sends leaders to states to campaign for their party's candidate.
Political parties choose their candidates for elections through a process called candidate selection. This process typically involves party members voting in primary elections or caucuses to determine the party's nominee. Additionally, party leaders and officials may also play a role in endorsing and supporting certain candidates. Ultimately, the chosen candidate represents the party in the general election.
Candidates are typically selected by their parties through a process of primaries and caucuses, where party members vote for their preferred candidate. The candidate who receives the most votes usually becomes the party's nominee for the general election. Additionally, party leaders and delegates may also play a role in selecting candidates through conventions or other methods.

Sure, and in fact they often do. They wouldn't do so near the general election, because by then most of the time each party has its candidates already chosen, and there's not really much point in having the guy you've already chosen debate a bunch of guys you passed over. Before the primaries, though, it does make sense to have the candidates for each party debate each other.
Political party leaders know that elections are decided by centrists, independents and moderates from both parties. While primaries are decided by the party hardliners, Election outcomes swing by those that are centered!
