The electorate consists of 110 voters, including corporators, MLAs, and MPs. The AIMIM leads with 49 voters, followed by the BRS with 25 and Congress with 14. The remaining voters belong to the BJP.
In terms of individual strength, the AIMIM has a clear advantage, especially if it gains Congress’ support. Meanwhile, the BJP has yet to decide whether to enter the fray. If both the BJP and BRS abstain, the AIMIM candidate stands a strong chance of winning unopposed.
The BRS, which is reportedly considering skipping this election, had also refrained from contesting the recent MLC elections from the Graduate and Teachers’ constituencies, where the BJP secured two out of three seats.
The nomination process for this election will conclude on April 4, followed by scrutiny on April 7. The deadline for withdrawal of nominations is April 9. The election is scheduled for April 23, with the counting of votes set to take place on April 25.
