Distribution of Victory Margins
Analysis of Victories
Pawan Kalyan's Landmark Win: The most symbolic victory was that of the party chief in Pithapuram, securing a massive margin of 70,279 votes. This re-established his credibility as a mass leader who could convert popularity into votes.
Strategic Redemptions: The victory in Bhimavaram, one of the seats Pawan Kalyan lost in 2019, served as a powerful symbol of the party's redemption and the complete reversal of the political tide.
Geographical Spread: Victories were distributed across Uttarandhra, the Godavari districts, the Krishna-Guntur delta, and Rayalaseema, preventing the party from being labeled as a purely regional force.

The strategic shift from broad contestation in 2019 to a focused alliance in 2024 is the central story of Jana Sena's resurgence. The data below shows how a marginal increase in statewide vote share produced a monumental difference in results.
2019: Broad Appeal, Minimal Conversion
Contesting 137 seats, the party spread resources thin. Despite a respectable vote share in its strongholds, this failed to translate into seats, resulting in only 1 victory.
Uttarandhra Region
