Among MPTCs, the alliance has 7,801 (TDP 6,586, Jana Sena 1,045, BJP 170) and YSRCP 1,800. These combined numbers are Telugu Scope’s own addition, not an SEC total; the final list also counts 7,768 contested MPTC seats, one more than the 7,767 the SEC said had gone to counting. The counting-day updates are on Telugu Scope’s MPTC, ZPTC results page.

How the vote ran

The SEC notified these second ordinary elections to mandal and zilla parishads on 19 October. Voting in 577 ZPTC and 7,707 MPTC seats took place on Thursday, 5 November. Because of the cyclone, five ZPTC and 60 MPTC seats voted on Friday, 6 November, when seven polling stations in five districts also held a repoll. Counting began at 8 am on Saturday, 7 November, at 365 centres.

The new members now pick the parishad heads. MPTC members elect the presidents of the state’s 659 mandal parishads, and ZPTC members elect the chairpersons of its 28 zilla parishads.
