Amidst a formidable challenge in his pursuit of a fifth term in the Lok Sabha, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi officially filed his nomination from the prestigious Hyderabad constituency, a stronghold of the Owaisi family. Leading a grand procession after offering Friday prayers at the iconic Mecca Masjid, Owaisi submitted his nomination papers.
AIMIM Leader Asaduddin Owaisi Files Nomination
Scheduled for polling on May 13, the electoral battleground of Hyderabad awaits a showdown between Owaisi and his BJP opponent, Madhavi Latha. Owaisi, representing Hyderabad in the Lok Sabha since 2004, faces a stern test against Latha’s spirited candidacy.
The Hyderabad constituency, comprising seven assembly segments, predominantly favors AIMIM, holding all but one seat. Over the years, the Owaisi family has maintained an iron grip on Hyderabad’s political landscape, with Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi and Asaduddin Owaisi securing consecutive victories since 1984.
Madhavi Latha’s entry into the fray adds a new dimension to the electoral dynamics. An accomplished cultural activist, entrepreneur, and Bharatanatyam dancer, Latha brings a diverse background and fervent advocacy for causes such as the campaign against instant triple talaq.
As the battle for Hyderabad intensifies, Latha’s candidacy underscores a significant challenge to Owaisi’s dominance, shaping the narrative of a closely watched electoral contest.
