YSRCP Faces Major Defeat in 2024 Andhra Pradesh Elections
In a surprising turn of events, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) faced a major setback in the 2024 general elections in Andhra Pradesh. Despite their overwhelming victory in the 2019 elections, where they won 151 assembly seats and 22 Lok Sabha seats with a 50% vote share, this time they struggled significantly.
Shockingly, YSRCP failed to win even a single assembly seat in eight districts of Andhra Pradesh. Overall, they couldn’t secure at least 10% of the seats compared to their previous performance. The districts where YSRCP failed to win any seats include:
| Name of the District | Alliance | YSRCP |
| Srikakulam | 10 | 0 |
| Vizianagaram | 9 | 0 |
| Visakhapatnam | 13 | 2 |
| East Godavari | 19 | 0 |
| West Godavari | 15 | 0 |
| Krishna | 16 | 0 |
| Guntur | 17 | 0 |
| Prakasam | 10 | 2 |
| Nellore | 10 | 0 |
| Kurnool | 12 | 2 |
| Anantapuramu | 14 | 0 |
| Kadapa | 7 | 3 |
| Chittoor | 12 | 2 |
| Total | 164 | 11 |
Despite securing a 40% vote share in the 2024 elections, the remaining 10% vote share that shifted to Janasena proved to be crucial. This shift helped the Janasena alliance to achieve the biggest victory in the political history of Andhra Pradesh.
The unexpected defeat highlights the changing political dynamics in the state and the significant impact of the Janasena alliance. The 2024 elections have marked a new chapter in Andhra Pradesh politics, showcasing the power of strategic alliances and the changing preferences of the electorate.
This major defeat for YSRCP underscores the importance of understanding voter sentiment and the need for political parties to continuously engage with their constituents. The results from these elections will likely prompt significant introspection and strategy adjustments within YSRCP as they look to regain their footing in Andhra Pradesh politics.
