Congress wins Lingojiguda bypoll

The Congress party has won the Lingojiguda ward by-election. The party’s candidate D Rajshekar Reddy won by a margin of around 1,200 votes over his nearest rival, Akhil Goud of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The TRS did not contest the election on humanitarian grounds.

The votes were counted on Friday at the Victoria Memorial Home



School in Kothapet.

The ward has a total electorate of 47,379 and 13,591 of them had cast their votes.

The by-election was necessitated following the demise of corporator-elect Akula Ramesh Goud who contested on behalf of the BJP in the GHMC elections held in December 2020.
