Chandrababu re-elected TDP central committee chief

Visakhapatnam: Nara Chandrababu Naidu was today unanimously re-elected as president of Telugu Desam Party’s central committee here.

The biennial election was held during the three-day annual conclave of TDP Mahanadu that ended in the port city today.

Party election officer E Peddi Reddy declared Naidu elected as president of the central committee as he was the only one in the fray after close of nominations yesterday.

This was for the record 22nd time that the Andhra Pradesh chief minister has been handed over the party reins.

He was first elected as TDP president (of united Andhra Pradesh) in 1995 after he triggered a split in the party by dislodging founder-president N T Rama Rao from the top post.
