The Congress government in Telangana has announced the nomination of Prof. Kodandaram Reddy and Mohammed Azharuddin under the Governor’s quota for the MLC elections, following the Supreme Court’s annulment of previous nominations. Azharuddin, a former cricketer and Congress candidate in the 2023 Assembly elections, had contested unsuccessfully from Jubilee Hills.
The Supreme Court has annulled the MLC appointments of Prof M Kodandaram and journalist Amer Ali Khan, declaring their tenure invalid. The two seats will remain vacant until the court delivers its final verdict on the pending petitions challenging their nominations
