Out of a total of 8,05,787 registered votes, 4,46,035 votes were polled in the election.
The final results were declared in the early hours of Wednesday, around 3.30 a.m., following an intense counting process that continued past midnight. Radhakrishna's victory on his birthday made the occasion even more memorable for his supporters and NDA alliance leaders.
The NDA alliance registered a sweeping victory in the 86 divisions, winning 76 divisions and establishing its dominance in the Vijayawada civic body.
Of the 76 divisions won by the alliance, the TDP secured 53, Jana Sena Party won 19, and the BJP bagged four divisions. The YSRCP managed to win eight divisions, while the Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPM) and an Independent candidate secured one division each.
Following the announcement of the results, Radhakrishna received his official election declaration certificate from Rajani Kumari, marking the formal confirmation of his historic victory.
The landslide victory is being viewed as a major political setback for the YSRCP and a significant boost for the NDA alliance in Vijayawada. The massive winning margin and the alliance's impressive performance across the divisions reflect the scale of its electoral success.
With this emphatic mandate, the NDA alliance is set to strengthen its hold over the Vijayawada civic administration.
