Congress leads in early results
According to results declared so far, the Indian National Congress has taken an early advantage by winning six wards. Victorious Congress candidates include B Lalitha, A. Ramaswamy, Mamatha, Varalaxmi, Gumadala Radha and G. Laxmi Devi. The early trend suggests a strong performance for the party as counting continues across wards.
BRS and BJP secure key wins
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has secured two wins so far, with Saraswathi and Haindhaavi emerging victorious. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also opened its tally through wins by Jyothi and Ratang Pandu Reddy. An Independent candidate, Kuruva Manjula, has also registered a victory, reflecting a competitive contest across the corporation.
Past results
In the 2020 municipal elections, the BRS had emerged as the single largest party with 30 seats, while both Congress and BJP secured five seats each. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) won three seats and six independents were elected.
With counting still in progress, the current results may reshape the political balance in Mahaboobnagar’s civic body as more ward outcomes are announced.
