Andhra Pradesh Assembly Election 2024: State to Vote on May 13; Results to be Out on June 4

Andhra Pradesh will vote in Assembly elections on May 13, 2024 as per the full schedule and dates announced by the Election Commission of India on Saturday. The counting of votes for Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections 2024 will be held alongside the counting for Lok Sabha elections 2024 on June 4, 2024.

In 2019, the YSR Congress decimated the Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP by winning 151 seats while ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had won 23 seats.

The TDP had bagged 102 Assembly seats in 2014. While the TDP contested the 2014 election in alliance with the BJP, it fought the 2019 general elections on its own and faced a rout.

This year, the BJP, TDP and Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena are contesting the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls together. Back in 2014, when TDP and BJP fought the polls together, Jana Sena was their outside ally.

As per their seat-sharing formula for 2024, the BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly seats, while the TDP will fight 17 parliamentary and 144 state seats. Under the deal, Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena will contest two Lok Sabha and 21 Assembly seats.

Jana Sena was initially supposed to contest 24 Assembly and three Lok Sabha seats, but in the seat-sharing formula it got 21 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats, after the TDP joined the NDA recently.
