Chief Minister before election K. Chandrasekhar Rao TRS Chief Minister after election K. Chandrasekhar Rao TRS

A noteworthy development in the electoral landscape was the formation of the Praja Kutami (People's Alliance), comprising opposition parties such as INC, TDP, CPI and TJS. Despite their collective efforts, they were restricted to 21 seats. The election ultimately reaffirmed the political dominance of TRS, led by K. Chandrashekar Rao, as they secured victory with 88 seats and continued to govern the state of Telangana.^[5]

Background

The chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao called for an early election, when he resigned 6 September 2018, nine months before the completion of his term.

Since no other party had a majority, the house was dissolved by the governor and general elections were announced.

This election led to the alliance of TDP and INC, once arch rivals, coming together as part of Praja Kutami for the first time.

Electoral process changes

Election Commission of India announced that Voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) machines will be used in all 32,574 polling stations in the assembly elections in Telangana.^[6] According to the final electoral rolls published on 12 October 2018, Telangana has 2,80,64,680 voters, which is less than 2,81,65,885 voters in 2014 Telangana assembly elections.^[7] There were around 2,600+ transgenders in the voters list.^[8]
