Composition of electorate for Hyderabad Local Body MLC elections that decide the winner

HYDERABAD: The Election Commission has finalized the voter list for the upcoming Hyderabad local body Member of Legislative Council (MLC) elections, comprising a total of 112 voters. This electorate includes 81 corporators from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and 31 ex-officio members.

Breakdown of the Electorate:

– Corporators: Initially, there were 84 corporators within the GHMC. However, due to the passing of corporators from Erragadda and Mehdipatnam divisions, and the election of Nampally’s corporator, Majid Hussain, as an MLA, the number has reduced to 81.

– Ex-Officio Members: The 31 ex-officio members are drawn from various political parties and hold positions such as MPs, MLAs, and MLCs. Their distribution is as follows:

– Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP): 6 members, including Union Minister Kishan Reddy, Lok Sabha member Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, and MLA Raja Singh.

– Bhaarat Rashtra Samithi (BRS): 11 members, featuring Rajya Sabha members Damodar Rao and K.R. Suresh Reddy, and MLAs Danam Nagender (allied with Congress now) and Mutha Gopal.

– All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM): 9 members, including Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and MLAs Akbaruddin Owaisi and Majid Hussain.

– Indian National Congress (INC): 5 members, such as Rajya Sabha member Anil Kumar Yadav and MLA Sriganesh.

This diverse composition of the electorate is set to play a crucial role in the forthcoming MLC elections, reflecting the multifaceted political landscape of Hyderabad.
