In the lead-up to the Vizianagaram Municipal Corporation elections, the Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are setting their sights on securing 25 out of 62 divisions. This increase in divisions comes after a recent delimitation process, which expanded the number from 50. Historically, both parties have struggled for representation, with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) previously winning 49 of 50 divisions during the last elections, largely due to the dominance of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). The JSP, which has gained traction since the 2024 general elections, is eager to establish a grassroots presence. They are expected to request around 20 seats, while the BJP hopes to secure 8 to 10 divisions. However, the TDP has indicated challenges in accommodating these requests due to internal competition among its own candidates. Additionally, the BJP is focusing on enhancing its local leadership and has seen a positive shift in its image in rural areas, attributed to various development projects, including the establishment of the Central Tribal University of Andhra Pradesh.
