Telangana: EC bans exit polls for GHMC election till Dec 3

The State Election Commission (SEC) has imposed a ban on all exit polls for GHMC till the evening of December 3 as re-polling will be held at some polling booths due to technical issues.

Meanwhile, re-polling will be held at two polling booths in Old Malakpet as the polling stopped with in-correct printing of CPI symbol on the ballot paper. The CPI demanded the EC to conduct to re-polling after they found the party's symbol was wrongly printed.

A total of 1,122 candidates are contesting the municipal corporation election across 150 divisions, spread over four districts in Hyderabad. In the last elections in 2016, the ruling TRS had won 99 seats, AIMIM had won 44, the BJP won four, the Congress won two and the Telugu Desam Party managed to get one seat.
