TDP wins Ganapavaram MPTC seat in Y.S. Jagan’s aunt Vimalamma’s native village after two decades

The result has attracted political attention as the YSRCP suffered a defeat in a village closely associated with the Y.S. family. Ganapavaram falls under the Mylavaram Assembly constituency.

TDP candidate Thalla Ramakrishna won the Ganapavaram Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency (MPTC) seat, defeating his nearest YSRCP rival, Sandipamu Ramesh, by a margin of 285 votes.

The defeat is particularly significant given the village's political history. For nearly two decades, candidates belonging to the Congress and subsequently the YSRCP had dominated the MPTC seat. The latest result has ended that electoral run, allowing the TDP to secure the seat after approximately 20 years.

The outcome has triggered celebrations among TDP and coalition supporters in the village. Party workers reportedly burst firecrackers and distributed sweets following the announcement of the result.

Local coalition leaders described the victory as an indication of changing political preferences among voters and claimed that it reflected public support for the coalition government's administration.

For the YSRCP, the defeat in Vimalamma's native village carries considerable political symbolism, particularly because the party had maintained its dominance there for several election cycles.

The result is now being discussed in local political circles as another setback for the YSRCP in the recent local body electoral contest.
