The number of votes polled in 2019 was 8.77 lakh, which went up to 10.74 lakh in the 2024 polls.
Asaduddin Owaisi’s victory margin in 2019 was 2.8 lakh votes
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the victory margin of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and sitting Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi, was 2.8 lakh votes.
As the rise in the number of votes polled in the 2024 polls is more than 70 percent of Asaduddin Owaisi’s victory margin, there is speculation about which way the electors have swung this time.
In terms of percentage, the voter turnout in Hyderabad also increased to 48.48 percent.
The rise in voter turnout can be attributed to appeals made by Asaduddin Owaisi, BJP MP candidate Madhavi Latha, civil society, and the Election Commission, urging people to cast their votes.
