Lok Sabha Elections 2024: After the voting of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections, now all the political parties have started their preparations for the remaining 6 phases. Political parties are continuously finalizing the names of their candidates.
Meanwhile, the nomination round is also going on. In the same category, on Monday (April 22), Owaisi's brother Akbaruddin Owaisi filed his candidature from Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat on AIMIM ticket.
It is noteworthy that AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi is already contesting on this seat against BJP candidate Madhavi Lata on the party ticket. Now the question is why has the party fielded Owaisi's brother from the same seat?
According to media reports, AIMIM has played this gamble while preparing the backup. Akbaruddin is the current MLA of Chandrayangutta Assembly. The party is planning that if for some reason Owaisi's nomination is rejected, Akbaruddin will act as a backup.
It is noteworthy that Owaisi has already adopted the backup formula. During the assembly elections, Akbaruddin filed his candidature from Chandrayangutta assembly seat. Along with this, his son Nooruddin also filed his candidature from the same seat. Nooruddin withdrew his nomination from the Bar.
