Party/ Alliance | Leader |

Prediction of AP State Elections 2024
The current CM and leader of the YSRCP is the prominent contender for the CM candidate of AP. He has been a leader since 2011 and leads the Andhra Pradesh state. In his tenure, he has stated that he fulfilled most of the commitments he had made during the previous elections.
The next candidate can be Chandrababu Naidu or Pawan Kalyan, it is yet to be announced who will be the candidate of TDP.
After the arrest of Naidu in 2023 for the multi-crore scam, it is hard to say who is going to be the CM candidate of the TDP.
Naidu has accused the current government of subverting electoral practices and demanded an inquiry on the issue. His accusation can change the mood of the people and maybe they will vote for a different party.
However, if people believe the current government statement about the development and commitments they fulfilled, then maybe YSRCP will come back to power.
About the prediction, the polls and surveys are yet to come that will tell about the people’s opinions, influence of the elections, and voting patterns.
