Disqualified MLA Danam Nagender is preparing for the Khairatabad by-election while withholding details about his party affiliation, according to The Hindu. Nagender declined to say whether he would seek the ticket from Congress or from another political party. His refusal leaves open the question of which organisation, if any, he will represent in the poll.

The supplied report describes him as ready for the by-election but does not provide a date for the vote, the reason for his disqualification or details about the parties’ nomination processes. It also does not state whether Nagender has formally approached any party or whether any party has indicated that it would nominate him. For now, the available information points to his interest in contesting the Khairatabad seat, while his political platform remains undisclosed.
