Overview
- The State Election Commission’s 9 pm update on Saturday showed the TDP-led NDA winning large majorities in ZPTC and MPTC contests, with official tallies reporting 273 ZPTCs and 5,597 MPTCs in the alliance’s favour at that stage.
- The TDP itself accounted for the bulk of the wins in the SEC’s figures, reported as roughly 229 ZPTCs and 4,823 MPTCs, numbers that include dozens of seats declared unanimously before polling.
- A high number of uncontested seats shaped the outcome: 77 ZPTCs and 2,051 MPTCs were declared unopposed on October 27, a development that opposition leaders say narrowed competition at the nomination stage.
- YSRCP leader Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has alleged manipulation from nominations through counting, while the SEC says counting was largely peaceful with CCTV and footage preserved for 60 days; isolated clashes and repolls at seven booths have been recorded and are under review.
- Local results were uneven — the Congress made gains in Chirala municipal wards and the TDP won Pulivendula ZPTC for the first time — a pattern that shows the statewide sweep coexists with important district-level reversals and contests.
