The ruling TRS in Telangana continued to maintain its lead as the counting of votes in Huzurnagar Assembly constituency bypoll progressed on Thursday.
TRS candidate S Saidi Reddy had established a lead of more than 11,000 votes over his Congress rival N Padmavati Reddy after the sixth round.
The counting of votes is likely to be completed in about 22 rounds,official sources said.
The counting of votes in the bye-election, held on October 21, began at 8 a.m.
The bypoll, the first after last year's Assembly elections in Telangana, was necessitated due to the resignation of state Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy following his election to the Lok Sabha.
