Telangana Election Result 2018 Highlights: KCR sworn in as chief minister for second consecutive term

Live updates of the 2018 Telangana Assembly election results. KCR has been sworn in as the Chief Minister for the second consecutive time shortly

December 14, 2018 / 14:08 IST

Telangana had gone for polling in a single phase election on December 7. A political party needs to win at least 60 seats to secure a simple majority in the Legislative Assembly. Term of the current Assembly ends on January 20, 2019.

Formed in 2014, Telangana is India’s newest state. Last time, the assembly elections were held as part of Andhra Pradesh simultaneously with the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The assembly polls in Telangana were supposed to happen simultaneous to the Lok Sabha polls in April-May 2019. However, seeking early polls, Telangana Chief Minister and Telugu Rashtra Samithi (TRS) President Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao had dissolved the state assembly prematurely on September 6.

This was Telangana’s first independent assembly election.
