The state's first election after splitting in two returned a familiar party to power.

Telugu Desam Party led a coalition to 102 of the 175 seats.

Together with its coalition partners, it controlled 106 seats in all, 60.6% of the assembly.

The outgoing Indian National Congress collapsed in the process.

This was the first election held after the state's division, on a map that covered only the residual territory.

At the last undivided election, on the larger map, it had won 92 of 294 seats.

On the newly redrawn, smaller map, it won 102 of 175 instead.

Among the parties winning a seat for the first time in the new state was YSRCP, which finished as runner-up with 67 seats.

A few numbers from the results stand out.

The tightest race was Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, decided by just 12 votes — the margin, how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second, of any seat that year.

The widest margin of the election was in Pulivendla, Andhra Pradesh, where the winner finished 41.5% of the vote ahead of the runner-up.

Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — was highest in Darsi, Andhra Pradesh, at 91.5%.

The largest electorate of any single seat was Gajuwaka, Andhra Pradesh, with 2,90,224 people registered to vote.

This election followed the reorganisation that split the old, larger state in two.
