Nginx 301 redirect a url with query string

Question

I have page with pagination which google marked as duplicate content, basically I have this page /asl/candidates/ and /asl/candidates/?page=1 is the same page. What I want to do is to 301 redirect /asl/candidates/?page=1 to /asl/candidates/

I tried

location = /asl/candidates/?page=1{
  return 301 /asl/candidates/;
}

But it seems it does not work with query strings.

Use $args or $arg_name if you need to get the argument(s) in the request line.

For example:

if ($args ~ "page=1") {
    rewrite ^/asl/candidates/$ /asl/candidates/? permanent;
}
