Hyderabad: In spite of all the speculations of a tough challenge from Praja Kutami, Former Yakutpura MLA Mumtaz Ahmed Khan won with a huge majority of 32,586 votes from Charminar.
The decision of swapping the constituencies with the former MLA of Charminar Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri purportedly over local anti-incumbency proved fruitful for Mumtaz Ahmed Khan.

He stood a clear winner against his close contestant T Uma Mahendra of BJP, who received 21,222 votes.
