Yellandu Municipal Chairman Election Postponed
Hyderabad: The Illendu Municipal Chairman election has been postponed to tomorrow after the ruling Congress party failed to reach a consensus on the chairman and vice chairman posts. Officials confirmed that the swearing in of the new governing council will now take place at 11 am on Tuesday.
The decision came after winning councilors did not turn up on time. As a result, the scheduled oath taking ceremony could not proceed as planned. Therefore, authorities deferred the process to the next day.
Congress fails to reach consensus on chairman post

Local leaders said that the discussions held by the Congress party leaders with members did not reach a consensus on the first day of the council meeting. Consequently, the uncertainty over the chairman post delayed the proceedings.
