Following the annexation of Hyderabad, the region underwent significant political restructuring, establishing a democratic framework. The election was conducted under the supervision of the Election Commission of India, facilitating the formation of a 150-member assembly. The Indian National Congress emerged as the dominant party, securing a majority, while other parties, including the Hyderabad State Congress and the Muslim League, also participated. This election laid the groundwork for the state's governance and democratic processes in independent India.
