Andhra Pradesh Municipal Elections: Complete list of Mayors 

In a landslide, of an unprecedented scale, the ruling YSR Congress Party in Andhra Pradesh, on Sunday, swept to power in the municipal corporation elections across the state. Registering a thumping majority, the ruling YSRCP won 11 out of 12 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). While there were a lot of speculations about the mayoral candidates, the YSRC Party cadre remained tight-lipped about the decision. Bringing curtains down on the suspense, the list of candidates, elected as Mayors along with Deputy Mayors of the 11 corporations in Andhra Pradesh, has been announced on Thursday. 

It may be noted that as many as seven female corporators have been appointed as Mayors in the state. Notably, Golagani Hari Venkata Kumari has been elected as the new Mayor of Visakhapatnam, and Vijaya Lakshmi has been given the charge of the Vizianagaram Municipal Corporation. Likewise, the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) will be led by Rayana Bhagya Lakshmi. On the other hand, the results to the Eluru Municipal Corporation have been put on hold on the directions of the High Court following the filing of a petition alleging discrepancies in the voters’ list.
