Amaravati: TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh has won the election from Mangalagiri assembly constituency by a margin of 91,413 votes by defeating his nearest rival YSRCP candidate Murugudu Lavanya. Lokesh had lost the 2019 assembly from here in the hands of YSRCP’s Alla Ramakrishna Reddy by a margin of 5,337 votes.
Nominated as an MLC in 2014 when TDP was in power, Lokesh has struggled to win the electorate in 2019. He will be entering the AP assembly for the first time now, as he, along with his party, have cruised their way to power in the state by decimating the YSRCP in 2024 assembly elections.
In the fifteen times election were held in the constituency, TDP could win from Mangalagiri only twice. The last time a TDP leader won from Mangalagiri was in 1985.
