The political campaign for the Telangana municipal elections has entered a critical and intense phase as the state prepares for polling on February 11, 2026. Political activities have ramped up sharply, with major parties boosting outreach efforts across municipalities and municipal corporations.
A total of 12,944 candidates are contesting across 2,996 wards in 116 municipalities and seven municipal corporations, making this one of the most active local election battles in recent years. Top leaders from the Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have taken to the campaign trail, addressing rallies and meetings to win urban voters’ support.
The Congress hopes to maintain its winning momentum after its strong performance in recent local polls, while the BRS seeks to regain ground with focused grassroots mobilisation. The BJP, contesting in all urban local bodies, aims to present itself as a credible alternative.
Candidates include people from varied backgrounds such as professionals, business owners, housewives, and retirees. Parties are also working hard to manage vote splits due to rebel contenders. The campaign now hinges on urban voter sentiment, local issues, and effective outreach as election day nears.
