In a significant move within the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh has been named as the national Working President. This decision marks a notable change in the party’s leadership structure, with the TDP unveiling its new Politburo, National, and State Committees.
Nara Lokesh, who is currently serving as the national General Secretary of the party, is the son of Chief Minister and TDP national President N. Chandrababu Naidu. His promotion to the role of Working President is seen as a clear indication of his position as the political successor to Naidu, who is set to turn 76 on April 20.
This appointment is historic for the TDP as it is the first time a Working President has been designated, highlighting a generational shift within the party and solidifying Lokesh’s role in shaping its future direction.
MLA Palla Srinivas has been assigned the position of state President, completing a strategic leadership restructuring aimed at fortifying the party’s organizational framework for upcoming political endeavors.
In a move emphasizing women’s empowerment, the TDP has appointed its first woman National General Secretary, MP Dr. Byreddy Shabari, alongside national General Secretaries Union Minister Ram Mohan Naidu and Rajesh Kilaru. This decision underscores the party’s commitment to enhancing women’s representation in alignment with broader political objectives.
The newly formed organizational setup includes a 29-member Politburo, a 31-member National Committee, and a 185-member State Committee, meticulously structured to ensure social, regional, and political inclusivity while focusing on long-term goals and electoral strategies.
