The Congress government in Telangana emerged victorious in 84 out of 105 municipalities and six out of seven municipal corporations during recent elections. Results were delayed in 11 municipalities due to the inability to elect chairpersons and vice-chairpersons promptly. The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) took control of 17 municipalities, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured one municipality in the state.
Independent candidates were elected as chairpersons in three municipalities, and the Congress, despite winning the majority in 66 municipalities, formed alliances to secure leadership positions in additional municipalities. The Congress also collaborated with the BJP to gain power in two municipalities in Telangana.
In the municipal corporations, the Congress claimed the mayor and deputy mayor positions in four out of seven corporations. The Communist Party of India (CPI), an ally of Congress, saw Mood Ganesh elected as Mayor of Kothagudem Municipal Corporation. The Congress also succeeded in electing mayors with the support of other parties in Nizamabad and Karimnagar Municipal Corporations.
The elections witnessed 34 hung municipalities, with several key positions being decided through alliances and support from various parties. The Congress managed to secure key positions in multiple municipalities and corporations, showcasing a diverse political landscape in the state.
