Across the 66 wards in the TMC area, TDP candidates won 38 wards, while YSRCP candidates claimed 19. Jana Sena Party, BJP, and other parties won three wards each. Notably, due to heavy rain in Ongole, the counting process for the local municipal election was delayed and began later than initially planned. In Kadapa, TDP's Mayoral candidate Malli Suvarna led with 80,819 votes, while YSRCP's Bandi Deepthi received 41,020 votes. In Nellore, TDP's Mayoral candidate Poluboina Roop Kumar Yadav had 88,792 votes, surpassing YSRCP's Anam Vijaya Kumar Reddy who received 45,150 votes. These results come amidst broader municipal election outcomes across Andhra Pradesh.
