The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is the chief executive of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. In accordance with the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]

Since 1953, there have been 19 chief ministers with the majority of them belonging to the Indian National Congress (INC). In 1953, Tanguturi Prakasam from the INC became the first chief minister of the Andhra State. In 1956, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy from the INC became the first chief minister of Andhra Pradesh post the reorganisation of Indian states. The longest-serving chief minister was N. Chandrababu Naidu from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), who held the office for over thirteen years across multiple terms, while N. Bhaskara Rao from the TDP had the shortest tenure of 31 days. N. Chandrababu Naidu was also the first chief minister of the state post the bifurcation of Telangana in 2014. Later Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy went on to become the President of India, while P. V. Narasimha Rao, also from the INC and previously the fourth chief minister of Andhra Pradesh went on to serve as the Prime Minister of India. Notably, N. T. Rama Rao from the TDP was the first non-INC chief minister of the state. There have been three instances of President's rule in Andhra Pradesh, most recently in 2014.

The current incumbent N. Chandrababu Naidu has been from the Telugu Desam Party since 12 June 2024.

Andhra State (1953–1956)

The Andhra State, a precursor to the modern state of Andhra Pradesh, was established on 1 October 1953, following the Andhra movement. The formation of Andhra State was made possible by the Andhra State Act, which was passed in the Parliament of India in September 1953. This significant development was ignited by a determined fast led by Potti Sreeramulu, whose sacrifice ultimately catalysed the demand for a new linguistic state.

The newly created Andhra State included 11 districts in the Telugu-speaking region of the Madras State, with Kurnool as its capital and a unicameral parliamentary system with a legislative assembly chamber.[2][3][4][5]

A total of two people have served as the chief minister during the period, of which both of them belonged to the Indian National Congress. Bezawada Gopala Reddy was the longest-serving chief minister of the region during this period. Chandulal Madhavlal Trivedi was the only governor in office during this period.

Andhra Pradesh (since 2014)

The Andhra Pradesh was officially established on 1 November 1956, through the enactment of the States Reorganisation Act in August 1956. This led to the dissolution of Hyderabad State, with its divisions becoming part of Mysore State and Bombay State. Concurrently, the integration of Telugu-speaking regions into Andhra State laid the foundation of a bicameral parliamentary system consisting of Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly chambers.[6][7]

Originally situated in Hyderabad, the capital later moved to Amaravati in 2017 following the implementation of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, which led to the formation of Telangana on 2 June 2014 and a reduction in the assembly constituencies from 294 to 175. Despite these significant boundary changes, the state continued to be recognised as Andhra Pradesh.[8][9]

Currently, there are a total of 175 assembly constituencies in the state.[10] The legislative council is the upper house with 58 members.[11] N. Chandrababu Naidu of the TDP is the longest-serving chief minister of the state, followed by Kasu Brahmananda Reddy of the INC. INC and TDP are the longest-ruling political parties in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
