Parties yet to announce Rajamahendravaram Mayor candidate

RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM The ground-level cadre and the aspirants for the Mayor ticket are keeping their fingers crossed, as none of the parties—including YSRCP and NDA—have announced their candidate for the Mayor election of the Rajamahendravaram Municipal Corporation by Saturday (November 14, 2026). The last date for filing the nomination for the Mayor post is November 16. The Mayor seat is reserved for Scheduled Caste General.

As the NDA allocated the Mayor seat to BJP, party State president P.V.N. Madhav’s visit to Rajamahendravaram on Friday gained attention as he finalised the Mayor candidate. However, he left the city without announcing the candidate, leaving the party cadre uncertain.

Meanwhile, the BJP, Jana Sena, and TDP are struggling to finalise the seat share among the 72 wards. On Saturday, as many as 19 candidates have filed their nominations for corporator. Of the total 4.63,322 voters, 2,39,637 are women who would dictate the result in electing the Mayor.
