Telangana Municipal Election Results 2026 Live: BJP rejects Cong ‘victory’, claims vote share surged

Seeking to blunt the Congress’s postpoll momentum, Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao dismissed the ruling party’s claimed victory in the municipal elections as ‘inflated and aided by misuse of power’. At a press conference, Rao said the results reflected the BJP’s steady rise rather than a decisive Congress wave. He pointed out that the party’s vote share had increased from 13% to 20%, calling it clear evidence of expanding support, while asserting that the BRS was in decline. He alleged that Congress and BRS secured wins in several places with the backing of Majlis.

“Congress and BRS won in many places with the support of Majlis. Urban Naxalites, communists, and AIMIM collaborated to defeat BJP,” he said

Telangana Municipal Election Results 2026 Live: In a first, transgender wins from Chityala

In a first for the state’s municipal elections, a transgender woman has been elected to office, with Nagilla Sudhakar winning from Ward 1 of Chityala municipality in Nalgonda district.


Contesting as an independent candidate, Sudhakar defeated nominees from major political parties by a margin of over 100 votes. Sudhakar, also known as Kaveri, secured 429 votes, while CPM candidate Jitta Nagesh polled 327 votes. BRS nominee Rudravaram Yadaiah received 198 votes and BJP’s Rudravaram Linga Swamy garnered 45.


A resident of Shivanenigudem in Chityala municipality, Kaveri earns her livelihood as a labourer.


“I will work for the development of the ward,” said the 45-year-old, noting that several issues in the area require urgent attention. “There is a dumping yard, because of which many residents in the ward are falling ill. I will ensure that it is relocated. Also, there are a few stretches without street lighting. I will also stand by the girl child by providing Rs 10,016 at the time of their marriage,” she said. Kaveri also pointed to the monkey menace in the village. “Farmers and villagers are suffering because of the monkey menace. I will work towards finding a solution to address this problem as well,” she added, thanking villagers for their support.


Kaveri studied at ZPHS, Chityala, but did not clear the Class 10 examination.


Chityala municipality comprises 12 wards. Congress candidates won nine wards, BRS secured two, and independent candidate Sudhakar claimed one seat. Nalgonda district has six municipalities, including Miryalguda, Devarakonda and Chandur.

Telangana Municipal Election Results 2026 Live: Independents set to tilt scales in 30 municipalities

The real contest began after the municipal election results were declared on Friday. In the three-cornered fight among Congress, BRS and BJP, independents have emerged as kingmakers, holding the key to chairperson and mayoral posts in several urban local bodies where no party secured a clear majority. As many as 181 independents were elected in municipalities.


Of the 123 municipalities, nearly 30 delivered fractured mandates, including Jangaon, Isnapur, Aliabad, Kagaznagar, Devarakadra, Alampur, Gadwal, Kesamudram, Asifabad, Jammikunta, Vemulawada and Raikal municipalities, along with the Karimnagar and Nizamabad municipal corporations. With no party reaching the required majority, intense backroom negotiations began soon after the counting process concluded.


To prevent poaching, political parties shifted councillors and corporators from hung municipalities to undisclosed locations. They are likely to return only on February 16 for the swearing-in ceremony and the election of chairpersons and mayors.


Major parties have moved swiftly to court independents and smaller recognised parties, including the lone All India Forward Bloc winner, in an effort to stitch together workable majorities.

Telangana Municipal Election Results 2026 Live: Cong dominates, BRS slips, BJP surprises in civic polls

Two years after returning to power, the Congress further strengthened its hold over Telangana’s urban landscape on Friday, leading in at least 83 of the 116 municipalities and five of the seven municipal corporations that went to polls on February 11.


By evening, the party had secured a clear majority in the Mancherial, Ramagundam and Nalgonda municipal corporations. It was also on the verge of wresting control of Mahbubnagar from BRS, winning 29 seats in the 60-member House. Congress is hopeful of forming the board in Kothagudem as well, with support from its ally CPI.


The BJP, however, delivered a surprise performance by emerging as the single largest party in the Karimnagar and Nizamabad municipal corporations, leaving BRS without a significant presence there. The election of municipal chairpersons and mayors is scheduled for February 16.


Across 123 urban local bodies comprising 2,996 wards, Congress secured 1,537 seats — a substantial jump from the 569 seats it had won in the 2020 municipal elections. The party had also posted strong results in the December 2025 rural polls, winning a majority of panchayats.
