The counting of votes for the Telangana Legislative Council by-election for the Warangal, Khammam, and Nalgonda constituencies is still ongoing, with the outcome hanging in the balance. The contest has become even more intriguing as the first preference votes did not result in a clear victory for any candidate, leading to a close battle for the second preference votes.
The main contenders in the by-election are Tinmar Mallanna from Congress, Premender Reddy from BJP, and Rakesh Reddy from BRS, among a total of 52 candidates, including independent candidates.
