GHMC Results For 132 Divisions Announced, TRS Wins 53 Seats

The results for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) elections for 132 divisions have been declared on the 4th of December. 

As per the State Election Commission (SEC) the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) won 53 seats.

In addition, the All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) won 42 seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 35 seats and the Indian National Congress (INC) won 2 seats so far.

The final results are scheduled to be announced shortly as counting of votes is drawing to a close.

As per the latest trends, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is set to sweep Hyderabad while the Asaduddin Owaisi led All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is likely to finish holding the second position.

However, there is a tough fight between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the AIMIM for the second position.

As per the trends, the TRS is expected to win near about 68-78 seats, while the AIMIM might win 38-42.

However, the BJP is likely to win just 25-35 seats, and a beleaguered Congress may bag only 1-5 seats.

Meanwhile, K. Kavitha, a member of the TRS said, “TRS is winning in most seats. As voting was by paper ballot we have to wait 3-4 hours to get exact numbers. I believe BJP numbers will further decline and heavy support for TRS will surface. We will have our mayor and do public works uninterrupted.”

The counting of votes for the remaining seats of the GHMC divisions is still underway.

Stay tuned for further updates.
