Congress faces uncertainty over preparations for the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Graduates’ MLC election, with questions over voter enrolment and campaign activity. The entry of Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s associate Mendem Kiran Kumar has added another dimension to the party’s election strategy

The BJP won two MLC seats -- the graduates' constituency and one teachers' while the PRTU bagged the other teachers' constituency seat

After 19 rounds of counting, UTF candidate Narsi Reddy was eliminated and Sripal Reddy was declared elected with 13,969 votes

The three seats are Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Graduates' and Teachers' constituencies and Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers' constituency

The officials have been instructed to prepare fresh electoral rolls for three constituencies, with November 1 2024 as qualifying date.

A total of 29,720 people registered as electors for the MLC Teachers’ Constituency election from eight districts and 21 candidates contested the election

"Our ultimate goal is to ensure the party’s victory in the 2023 Assembly elections in the State,” said the lost BJP candidates N Ramachander Rao and G Premender Reddy
