The 1967 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was held on March 1, 1967, to elect members of the 4th Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh, India. This election marked a significant political transformation in the state, as it resulted in the emergence of the Indian National Congress's dominance being challenged by the newly formed Telugu Desam Party (TDP), led by Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR). Voter turnout was reported at approximately 71%, reflecting active civic participation. The election was notable for its intense political campaigning and the emphasis on regional identity. The outcome facilitated a shift in power dynamics in Andhra Pradesh, ultimately paving the way for a new era of regional politics in the state.
