1952 Hyderabad Legislative Assembly election

The 1952 Hyderabad Legislative Assembly election, held on March 12, was a historic electoral event marking the first legislative elections in the Indian state of Hyderabad after its integration into the Indian Union in 1948. 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.
