YSRCP suffers setback in Kadapa ZPTC polls

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) suffered yet another setback in the Kadapa ZPTC elections, soon after its poor performance in the municipal elections.

Of the 39 ZPTC seats in the district, 23 won unanimously before the vote. Elections for the remaining 16 seats were held on Thursday, of which the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) won 10 and the Jana Sena Party (JSP) one. The YSRCP managed to secure only two seats, both in the Pulivendula Assembly constituency.

Of the four ZPTC seats in Pulivendula, TDP won Lingala and Pulivendula mandals, while YSRCP won in Vempalli and Vemula mandals.

Results for three other ZPTC seats were not available at the time of filing this report.

Out of the 407 MPTC seats in the district, alliance candidates were elected unanimously in 352. Voting was held for 55 seats, but results for 28 are yet to be declared. TDP candidates were leading in most of the MPTC seats where counting was taking place.
