Government Chief Whip Kalva Srinivasulu proposed Lokesh's name while Deputy chief ministers KE Krishna Murthy and N China Rajappa, TDP's AP unit president K Kala Venkata Rao and other legislators seconded the nomination.

The election is scheduled to be held on March 20. Lokesh, currently the TDP general secretary, is neither the member of Legislative Council nor the Assembly.
