Under the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance, TDP would be contesting in 144 assembly seats out of 175. TDP is yet to announce names of five more candidates.

Notably, former Minister and firebrand TDP leader Devineni Umamaheswara Rao failed to find a place in the third list. The Mylavaram Assembly seat was given to sitting MLA Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad, who shifted loyalties from the YSRCP recently.

Devineni Uma had been a trusted loyalist of Chandrababu Naidu for many years. Even after the defeat in the 2019 elections, Devineni Uma had been with Chandrababu Naidu on every occasion.
