TDP-Led NDA Dominates Andhra Local Body Election Results
What Happened
Counting is underway today, November 3, across 92 urban local bodies in Andhra Pradesh, comprising 13 municipal corporations and 79 municipalities and nagar panchayats. The ruling TDP-led NDA, comprising TDP, Jana Sena and BJP, was leading in 10 of the 13 municipal corporations and 62 municipalities in the latest available update. The alliance had already secured 17 municipal chairperson posts unopposed before polling, with TDP taking 15 and Jana Sena and BJP one each. A notable result came from Pulivendula, the home turf of YSRCP chief Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. News18 Telugu reported YSRCP winning just 3 of 40 wards, while TDP secured the majority, BJP won two and Jana Sena one. YSRCP did score a significant victory in Nandikotkur, winning 23 of 32 wards, according to the same News18 live coverage.
Key Takeaways
The current trends point to a strong performance by the TDP-led NDA across Andhra Pradesh’s urban local bodies, including a politically significant showing in Pulivendula. However, counting is still underway, so these should be treated as trends and partial results rather than the final statewide tally.
