Manage to become a candidate (3)
I believe the answer is:
run
This clue might be a double definition.
'manage' is the first definition.
(both can mean to organise)
'become a candidate' is the second definition.
'run' can be an answer for 'become' (running is a kind of becoming). I am not sure about the 'a candidate' bit.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for run that I've seen before include "stand" , "Ladder - manage - sprint - flow" , "A point scored in cricket" , "escape" , "Unbroken series" .)
