The process for filling the six vacancies in the Legislative Council in the MLAs quota has been set in motion by the Election Commission with November 29 as the date of poll.
The term of six MLCs – Akula Lalitha, Mohammed Fareeduddin, Gutha Sukhender Reddy, Nethi Vidyasagar, Bodakunti Venkateshwarlu and Kadiyam Srihari – expired on June 3 this year. Though the vacancies were to be filled before the expiry of the term of the members, the Election Commission deferred the process in view of the COVID pandemic.
The Commission in a release recalled that it had decided not to go ahead with the polls earlier as it would not be appropriate to hold the biennial election to the vacant seats till the pandemic situation significantly improved and conditions became conducive to hold the election. In this background, the Commission on Sunday issued schedule for the election of six seats including that of former Council chairman Mr. Sukhender Reddy.
