The ruling Congress secured four seats with the CPI being its ally while the opposition BRS party could get only one seat. The BRS had four members whose term ended leading to vacancies for the election of the above members.

The BRS despite having 38 members (out of these 10 defected to the Congress) did not field a candidate for the second seat making it easy for the ruling party and its ally.
