AMARAVATI: The State Election Commission (SEC) has once again faced a setback in the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding the unanimous elections of the MPTC and ZPTC winners. The High Court on Tuesday, directed the SEC to declare immediately the MPTC and ZPTC winners who were unanimously elected to this extent.
In a hearing held last week the SEC Nimmagadda Ramesh told the High Court that they had the power to postpone, cancel, and reschedule elections in line with the Central Election Commission. He said the SEC has the power to intervene impartially in case of irregularities in the election process. He said that the 126 ZPTCs and 2,406 unanimous results were extraordinary compared to the previous year.
