NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu will continue as the president of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for the next two years, following his unanimous re-election at the party’s annual Mahanadu conclave .
The announcement came on the second day of the three-day event, where senior party leader and TDP Election Committee Chairman Varla Ramaiah declared the result in front of thousands of party workers. “Nara Chandrababu Naidu has been elected as the national president of TDP for the next two years,” Ramaiah said.
A special election office had been set up to conduct the internal poll. According to Ramaiah, around 600 TDP leaders backed Naidu’s nomination, resulting in his unopposed election.
Ramaiah later administered the oath of office to Naidu, marking yet another term in his long leadership of the party. Naidu has been heading the TDP since 1995 and has now completed nearly three decades at the party’s helm.
Naidu’s re-election comes shortly after he returned to power in Andhra Pradesh in a landslide victory.
