Your are simply jumping too late onto the train. There are rules for elections which can't be changed on the request from a potential new candidate who missed the deadline. That is unfortunate for us all but this is how things work.
Now, it might happen that an elected candidate won't accept his election or someone will contest the election. In both cases it is possible that we will have a new election. A new election with the same rules but this time with you being able to candidate.
BTW: It is not to uncommon that there is only one candidate; for example see the Debian elections from 2011: https://lwn.net/Articles/438923/
