Seat change
Against Andhra Pradesh's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained120 (42%)
- Changed hands123 (43%)
- New seat44 (15%)
120 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 123 changed hands. 44 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
