Mr. Eatala Rajender, the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading with a majority of votes.

On the 2nd of November, Tuesday, the counting of votes for the recently held Huzurabad Assembly by election started at 8:00 A.M.

In Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) counting, Mr. Eatala Rajender is in the lead with 166 votes, after the first round of counting.

However, in postal ballot vote counting, the TRS candidate Mr. Gellu Srinivas Yadav leads.

It is to be noted, after the resignation of Mr. Eatala Rajender as the Huzurabad MLA and the TRS member, the Huzurabad Assembly seat fell vacant. With the political tension between Mr. Eatala Rajender and the TRS President Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Huzurabad by election is going to be a serious battle between the BJP and the TRS.

Since Mr. Eatala Rajender joined the BJP and contested the Huzurabad by election on a BJP ticket, the chances of victory of the BJP and the TRS are at 50-50.

The counting of votes would continue till late evening of the 2nd of November, following which the results would be announced.
