  "summary": "The Telugu Desam Party-led alliance in Andhra Pradesh's urban local bodies (ULBs) secured 17 uncontested victories, out of a total of 87 ULBs. This includes municipalities and nagar panchayats, as announced by the state election commission (SEC) on the last day for nomination withdrawal. The SEC revised the poll schedule following Supreme Court directions, which were prompted by complaints that some candidates were prevented from filing nominations. The TDP-led alliance's victories were particularly strong in the Rayalaseema region, with 11 unopposed ULB wins, followed by three in Palnadu and two in the erstwhile Prakasam region.",
