The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) did not contest the election after a delegation led by BJP city president N Ramchander Rao requested KTR to support the saffron party candidate on humanitarian grounds.
The votes were counted at Kothapet's Victoria Memorial Home School. The ward had a total electorate of 47,379 people who voted, with 13,591 of them casting votes.
