Congress has protested that the election should be postponed until the defection complaints are dealt with but the government went on with it.

Finally Congress MLCs under the leadership of D Srinivas boycotted the election. Later the deputy Chariman announced that Swamy Goud is elected by secret ballot. TDP issued whip to its members to remain neutral as both the parties are equally distant to it. Later on Swamy Goud took charge as Council chairman.
