Nellore: With the TDP-led alliance securing a clear majority by winning 30 of the 35 ZPTC in Nellore district, the party leadership has begun finalising its candidate for Zilla Parishad Chairman post.

Senior TDP leader and Indukurpet ZPTC member Polamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy is emerging as the frontrunner. Of the total 35 ZPTCs in the district, TDP-led alliance won 30 seats, while YSRCP secured the remaining five. Among the alliance’s 30 seats, TDP won 26, YSRCP secured two, and BJP and Jana Sena won one seat each.

Although several leaders are aspiring for the post, the high command is favouring Polamreddy, citing his political experience and close ties with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakara Reddy. Sources say Naidu has responded positively to the proposal.

Polamreddy had earlier sacrificed his claim to Kovur Assembly ticket in 2024 in favour of Vemireddy Prasanthi Reddy, who assured support for ZP Chairman post.

He was subsequently elected unopposed from Indukurpet. A two-time MLA (2004 and 2014), Polamreddy’s elevation is now keenly awaited.
