1967 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh

The 1967 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh was a significant political event held in April–May 1967, marking the first state assembly elections after the bifurcation of the erstwhile composite state of Andhra Pradesh from Telangana. It was conducted as part of the nationwide general elections to the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The Indian National Congress (INC), dominant in previous elections, faced increasing opposition from various parties, notably the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), founded by Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR). The election reflected a notable shift in voter sentiment, leading to the emergence of regional parties and coalitions. Ultimately, the INC retained power, but the results underscored growing political diversity and regionalism in Andhra Pradesh's political landscape.
