Amaravati: Senior BJP leader PVN Madhav on Tuesday officially took over as the party's Andhra Pradesh unit president, succeeding D Purandeswari.
BJP leader and Bengaluru MP P C Mohan, who supervised the election, announced that Madhav was elected unanimously.
“The certificate of (election as president) has been presented to Madhav,” said a party release.
The transition marks the end of the around two-year tenure of Rajahmundry MP D Purandeswari as the party president in the state, it said.
Madhav’s election as president was a foregone conclusion as he was the lone candidate to file the nomination on Monday.
