NDA Leads In All 13 Municipal Corporations
According to the initial trends, the alliance comprising Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the BJP is leading in all 13 municipal corporations.
In the 2021 elections, the opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, had won all 13 municipal corporations. The TDP has also won several seats unopposed in the Chittoor region.
YSRCP Trails
In the Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation mayoral race, NDA candidate Mukka Sravani of the TDP was leading by 38,677 votes as of 2.30 pm.
The YSRCP candidate was trailing, having secured just 30.1% of the votes. YSRCP performance in all the local body elections is bad as compared to 2021 elections.
The NDA is ahead in all 13 municipal corporations, including Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Machilipatnam, Vijayawada, Guntur, Chittoor, Tirupati, Kadapa and Kurnool. Mayors from Jagan Mohan Reddy’s party had been elected in all these municipal corporations in the 2021 elections.
