BRS Withdraws from Contest: GHMC Standing Committee Elected Unanimously
Hyderabad, Feb 21 (Maxim News): The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Standing Committee has been elected unanimously after two BRS corporators withdrew their nominations. The BRS pulled out of the contest due to a lack of numbers, allowing the committee to be formed without a vote.
A total of 17 nominations were submitted—8 from AIMIM, 7 from Congress, and 2 from BRS. With BRS withdrawing, the 15-member Standing Committee was elected without opposition, made up entirely of AIMIM and Congress members. The final lineup includes 8 members from AIMIM and 7 from Congress. This is the first time in 10 years that Congress corporators have secured seats on the committee.
The GHMC has 150 corporators in total. However, after the death of two members and two others becoming MLAs, the current strength is 146. Among them, 39 are from BJP, 42 from BRS, 24 from Congress, and 41 from AIMIM. To form the committee, at least 74 corporators must support the candidates. In the previous term, the committee had 7 members from AIMIM and 8 from BRS.
Since no party held a clear majority, BRS had earlier secured the mayor’s seat with AIMIM’s support. For the last three terms, the committee was dominated by BRS and AIMIM members. However, after losing in the last Assembly elections, Mayor Vijayalakshmi and Deputy Mayor Srilatha Reddy switched to the ruling Congress, along with several other corporators. (Maxim News)
