The district collector had announced the date of election to the post of chairperson following the ouster of BRS councilor Nittu Jahnavi in a no-confidence motion on March 30.  After a change of government in the state, the councillors, including BRS rebels, voted out Jahnavi 

There are 49 members in the council, of which Congress has 27 members followed by BRS with 16 and the BJP six.  Three municipal councillors of the Congress are aspiring for the chairperson post.

The BRS won a majority of seats in the 2020 election and Jahnavi was elected chairperson while Indupriya Reddy became the vice-chairperson.  However, during the Assembly elections, the BRS leadership suspended Indupriya’s husband Gaddam Chandrashekar Reddy in a disciplinary action and the couple joined the Congress. The district administration is making arrangements for the chairperson’s election. 

Both the Congress and the BJP have started making efforts to get the post of chairperson.  The Congress is confident that all the members who have joined the party will support it.
