The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 499 of the 582 Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) seats where elections were held in Andhra Pradesh, final figures from the State Election Commission (SEC) show. The Hindu reported the figures on 9 November.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) won 406 of those seats, the Jana Sena Party 73 and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 20. The opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) won 76.

In the Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (MPTCs), elections were held for 7,768 seats. The TDP won 4,806, the Jana Sena 938 and the BJP 117, a total of 5,861 for the alliance. The YSRCP won 1,711. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) won 15, the Congress nine and the Bahujan Samaj Party three.

What changed since counting day

Partial counts on the night of 7 November had given the TDP alone 229 ZPTC and 4,823 MPTC seats. The final figures confirm the scale of the alliance’s win, which follows its sweep of the 2024 Assembly election. The YSRCP held its ground mainly in the tribal Agency area and in parts of Rayalaseema.

What’s next

Gram panchayats will vote next, in three rounds: on 26 November, 29 November and 2 December, the SEC has announced. It will issue the notifications for the three phases on 13, 16 and 19 November.

The Model Code of Conduct has been lifted in the 100 municipal corporations and municipalities where elections are over. It stays in force in rural areas until the panchayat polls are done.

Newly elected members will also choose the Zilla Parishad chairpersons and Mandal Parishad presidents.
