Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), which retained its strongholds in the face of TRS onslaught, won 44 seats with 15.85 percent of the votes polled in 61 divisions it contested.
Emerging second largest party in the municipal body, MIM was far ahead of runners up TRS in majority of the 44 divisions.
