Jubilee Hills and Nuapada By-Election Results 2025: A Complete Guide
The political fate of candidates in the high-stakes by-elections for Telangana's Jubilee Hills and Odisha's Nuapada assembly constituencies will be officially revealed on Friday, November 14, 2025. The counting of votes is scheduled to commence at 8 am across all centers, with the results being declared alongside the outcomes of the Bihar Assembly elections and several other bypolls happening in four states and one Union Territory.
Voter Turnout and Context of the By-Elections
The by-election in the Jubilee Hills constituency of Telangana was necessitated following the unfortunate demise of the sitting Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) MLA, Maganti Gopinath, in June 2025. The polling, which took place peacefully on November 11, witnessed a relatively low voter participation, with only 48.47 per cent of the electorate casting their votes.
In stark contrast, the Nuapada assembly constituency in Odisha saw a massive and enthusiastic voter turnout. The by-poll here was triggered by the death of the sitting Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MLA and former minister, Rajendra Dholakia. Over 2.53 lakh voters were registered, and a significant 83.45 per cent of them exercised their franchise, indicating a highly engaged electorate.
Key Candidates in the Fray
Jubilee Hills Constituency:
The electoral battle in Jubilee Hills is a triangular contest with high political stakes. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded L Deepak Reddy as it aims to establish itself as a dominant force against the BRS and the Congress. The BRS has nominated Sunita, the widow of the late MLA Maganti Gopinath, hoping to retain the seat after the party's surprising defeat in the 2023 Assembly polls. The ruling Congress party has put forward Naveen Yadav as its candidate, who also enjoys the crucial support of the Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). Although the by-poll result will not affect the stability of the Congress government, it is widely seen as a referendum on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's administration.
Nuapada Constituency:
The contest in Nuapada is equally compelling, featuring a direct fight between political dynasties and established parties. The BJP has chosen Jay, the son of the late MLA Rajendra Dholakia, as its candidate. The BJD, on the other hand, has fielded its women's wing chief, Snehangini Chhuria. The Congress has nominated a veteran tribal leader, Ghasiram Majhi, to contest the seat. Besides these three main contenders, there are 11 other candidates in the race, making it a crowded and closely watched electoral field.
