TDP ends YSR family dominance, wins Pulivendula ZPTC by-election
The TDP has clinched victory in the Pulivendula ZPTC by-election, ending nearly two decades of YSR family and YSRCP dominance in the Andhra region. The fierce contest, prompted by the death of YSRCP leader T Maheshwar Reddy in February 2023, saw TDP's M Latha Reddy defeat YSRCP's T Hemanth Reddy, signalling TDP's rising clout in Rayalaseema.
