Danam Nagender is prepared to contest the upcoming by-election for Khairatabad, but has remained quiet about his political affiliation. The Supreme Court dismissed his petition on Thursday, September 24, 2026, challenging his MLA disqualification order from September 18. This disqualification stemmed from contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Secunderabad on a Congress ticket while serving as MLA. Nagender confirmed his readiness for the by-election whenever it happens, speaking to reporters in Hyderabad. He stated he would reveal his party affiliation only after securing a ticket.
