The by-elections for the legislative council will be held on January 29. The two vacancies in the legislative council were formed following two BRS MLCs, Kadiyam Srihari and Padi Kaushik Reddy resigning on December 9 last year after they won the Assembly elections.
The election and counting of votes will be conducted on the same day. Considering their strength in the Assembly, the Congress is likely to win the two seats in the council. While, the BRS has 27 seats in the legislative council, the Congress has only two seats.
