Nellore: The TDP-led NDA alliance has scored a historic victory in Nellore Municipal Corporation elections, securing mayor’s post for the first time since the civic body’s formation.

Alliance candidate Poluboina Roop Kumar Yadav won by a massive margin of about 80,170 votes after counting continued until midnight. The result marks a dramatic political shift in Nellore city. YSR Congress Party, which had swept all 52 divisions unopposed in 2022, was reduced to just one division (Division 13) out of the present 72.

TDP-Jana Sena-BJP alliance captured an overwhelming majority of seats, with the remaining going to alliance candidates and two independents. NDA nominees led in most divisions from the start of counting. Newly elected Mayor Roop Kumar expressed happiness over the decisive mandate and thanked the people of Nellore for their trust. He said the electorate had clearly sought change, noting that YSRCP’s near-wipeout reflected public’s verdict.
