The Telangana Assembly Secretariat has formally issued a notification declaring the Khairatabad Assembly constituency vacant. This administrative move follows the disqualification of the sitting MLA, Danam Nagender. Under the rules governing the state legislature, the vacancy necessitates that the Election Commission of India be informed to initiate the process for a by-election to fill the seat.

While the notification confirms the legal status of the seat as vacant, the specific legal or political grounds leading to the disqualification were not detailed in the initial announcement. The vacancy marks a significant shift in the local political landscape, as the Khairatabad seat is now without representation in the state assembly. Political analysts are currently monitoring the situation to see how the major parties in Telangana will respond to the sudden opening of this constituency and whether the disqualification will lead to immediate legal challenges from Nagender’s camp. As of now, the Assembly Secretariat has maintained that the notification is a procedural necessity following the disqualification order.
