Visakhapatnam: The TDP-led alliance of the Jana Sena Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a landslide victory in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) elections, securing a commanding majority with 98 seats out of 120 wards.
The alliance’s victory was further cemented with Mukka Sravani winning the mayoral election by a massive margin of 2,44,644 votes.
According to the official results released at 10 pm on Tuesday, the Telugu Desam Party emerged as the single largest party, winning 64 wards. Its allies, Jana Sena and the BJP, secured 26 and eight seats respectively, taking the alliance’s total tally to 98. However, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was restricted to just 13 seats, indicating a setback for the opposition. Independent candidates secured eight wards, while the Communist Party of India (CPI) won one seat.
In the Mayoral election, alliance candidate Mukka Sravani registered a landslide victory over YSRCP candidate Varudu Kalyani. The TDP candidate secured a total of 5,85,454 votes, while Kalyani received 3,40,810 votes. The poll results gave way to a decisive victory margin of 2,44,644 votes.
The election victory certificate was handed over to Mukka Sravani. With the issuance of the certificate, a key stage in the mayoral election process was completed. Meanwhile, the ward-wise results reflected the TDP’s continued dominance across the city, with Jana Sena also making a strong contribution to the alliance’s impressive victory. The BJP’s eight-seat victory further strengthened the alliance’s position in the civic body.
Independent candidates emerged victorious in wards 36, 39, 41, 73, 86, 98, 106 and 118. CPI candidate Mokalla Krishnaiah won ward 105.
While the results of 109 wards were declared by 9 pm on Tuesday, the final report, released an hour later, confirmed the winners and revealed party affiliations in all 120 wards.
The alliance’s overwhelming victory, coupled with Mukka Sravani’s mandate in the mayoral election, marks a significant political milestone in Visakhapatnam and paves the way for the TDP-led coalition to take control of the civic administration.
