The 2004 Andhra Pradesh Assembly election, was held in 2004 with the Indian National Congress winning 185 of the 294 seats in the Assembly.
In the history of Andhra Pradesh, it was the first time the grand old party entered into an alliance with a regional party. And the Congress' pre-poll alliance partners CPI, CPI(M) and TRS also did well winning 15 and 26 seats respectively, taking the UPA tally to 226. As the leader of the Congress Legislature Party, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was invited to form the Government by Governor Surjit Singh Barnala. Expectedly, the Government lasted the full term of 5 years and the tenure of the Legislative Assembly was due to expire on 30 May 2009. The Election Commission of India (ECI) decided to hold the Assembly elections along with the general election. The election in each Assembly constituency (AC) was held in the same phase as the election to the corresponding Parliamentary constituency that the AC falls under.
