renomination
Chosen again officially
Renomination is the act of nominating someone again, typically for political office or an appointed position.
A president seeking a second term must secure renomination from the party before the general election.
The term applies whenever someone who previously held or was nominated for a position is put forward again: Her renomination to the board was unanimous.
