After leaving out 31 Assembly seats for Janasena and the BJP, TDP is contesting in 144 seats. That means candidates for only sixteen seats are yet to be announced.

The names of the MP candidates did not figure in this list as well.

One noticeable absent name is that of Ganta Srinivasa Rao. The party high command wants him to contest from Cheepurupalli against Botsa Satyanarayana but Ganta wants a seat from Vishakapatnam district.

Palla Srinivasa Rao is the TDP candidate from Gajuwaka from where Pawan Kalyan contested and lost in 2019.

Senior Leader Buchchaiah Chowdary is announced as the candidate from Rajahmundry Rural.

Senior leaders Anam Ram Narayana Reddy, Yarapathaneni, Chintamaneni Prabhakar, and others who did not figure in the first list got seats confirmed in the second.

YSR Congress is releasing its final list of candidates on 16th. It has to be seen if TDP, Janasena, and the BJP can announce the remaining names before that.
