Amid tight security and COVID norms, election held for 59 wards of the total 60 Around 57.91% of the nearly 2.88 lakh voters exercised their franchise in the election to Khammam Municipal Corporation (KMC) held in the midst of a COVID surge on Friday. The perceived fear appeared to have impacted the electoral participation as was evident from the relatively low voter turnout compared to the previous election. Amid tight security and COVID safety precautions, the election was held for 59 wards of the total 60 in the KMC from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. TRS candidate Madhuri had already been elected from the 10th ward unopposed (unanimously).
