Power in the state assembly changed hands, as voters removed the sitting government.

The Indian National Congress won 181 of the 294 seats on offer, a landslide result.

Its nearest rival, the Telugu Desam Party, fell to 74 seats — the very party it had just replaced in government.

That gave it a majority of 33 seats beyond what it needed to govern.

The party that had governed the state saw its support collapse, and its old rival returned to office.

123 seats moved from the TDP to the INC alone — the largest shift between any two parties that year.

It went from 50 seats to 181 in one election.

A few numbers from that election are worth knowing on their own.

The tightest race was Kuchinapudi, Andhra Pradesh, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 56 votes.

At the other extreme, Charminar, Andhra Pradesh was the most one-sided contest of the year, won by 59.5% of the vote.

Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — was lowest in Paderu, Andhra Pradesh, at just 36.7%.

Khairatabad, Andhra Pradesh had the largest electorate of any seat that year, with 2,93,928 people on the rolls.

This was the first time since its founding that this party had lost an election.
