The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has appointed Dagumati Venkata Krishna Reddy, popularly known as Kavya Krishna Reddy, as the Kavali constituency in-charge. He took over the role in February 2024, replacing Subbanaidu.
Kavya Krishna Reddy also contested and won the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections from Kavali, defeating YSRCP’s Ramireddy Pratap Kumar Reddy by a margin of over 30,000 votes. His appointment as in-charge reflects TDP’s strategy to strengthen its base in Nellore district.
