The party revealed the chairmen for 47 market committees, marking a crucial step in their initiative to fill a total of 705 nominated positions, which includes representatives for these committees.

In a competitive selection, TDP secured 37 chairmanship posts, while the Jana Sena party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) received 8 and 2 respectively.
