The by-election was caused by the resignation of Banda Prakash Mudiraj after he was elected to the Telangana Legislative Council in December 2021.

May 23 was the last date for withdrawal of nominations and with Ravichandra being the only candidate in fray, he was declared elected unopposed. The polling was scheduled on May 30.

The TRS had last week announced three candidates including Ravichandra for three Rajya Sabha seats. The elections for two other seats are scheduled on June 10.

Hetero Drugs Chairman and Managing Director Bandi Parthasaradhi Reddy and Telangana Publications Private Ltd Chairman and Managing Director Divakonda Damodar Rao are also likely to be elected without contest as the TRS has the required strength in the Assembly.
