Candidates
As many as 58 candidates are in the fray in the by-election caused by the death of sitting MLA Maganti Gopinath of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
Ahead of Jubilee Hills by election result 2025, exit polls by several leading agencies suggest that Congress is set to wrest the seat from BRS. The Congress party is projected to secure 46-48 per cent votes, while BRS is likely to trail with 41-42 per cent votes. The BJP may finish a distant third with just 6-8 per cent votes.
The BRS fielded Gopinath’s wife, Sunitha, who is locked in a direct fight with the ruling Congress party’s Naveen Yadav. The BJP once again fielded Lankala Deepak Reddy.
This time, the AIMIM, led by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, supported the Congress candidate.
