Badvel bypolls is mainly a triangular fight between YSRCP, BJP, and the Congress who are campaigning vigorously on the last day. Fifteen candidates, including three of the main political parties, are in the fray for the October 30 by-election. The by-election was necessitated by the death of sitting YSRCP legislator Dr. G Venkatasubbaiah in March this year.

The main opposition Telugu Desam Party opted out of the contest as the YSRC fielded the widow of the deceased legislator for the contest.

Dr. Dasari Sudha, a practicing doctor, is the YSRCP candidate. Former MLA P M Kamalamma is the Congress candidate. She represented the constituency from 2009-14. The BJP fielded youth leader Panathala Suresh. He had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 election from the Railway Koduru constituency in the Kadapa district.
