In a decisive electoral victory, Congress's V Naveen Yadav emerged triumphant in the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, securing a majority of over 24,729 votes over BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha. With 98,988 votes to Sunitha's 74,259, Yadav maintained a consistent lead throughout the counting process.
