The
eagerly-awaited
MAA
Elections
2019
were
held
on
Sunday(March
10,
2019)
with
Tollywood
biggies
like
Nagarjuna
and
Megastar
Chiranjeevi
turning
up
to
cast
their
votes.
The
keenly-fought
elections
saw
Sivaji
Raja
lock
horns
with
Naresh
for
the
President's
post.
When
all
was
said
and
done,
the
Naresh
panel
beat
the
Sivaji
group
quite
comfortably
and
this
marked
the
beginning
of
a
new
era
for
MAA.
Naresh
was
the
favourite
to
win
the
elections
as
he
enjoyed
the
support
of
Nagarjuna,
'Prince'
Mahesh
Babu
and
Chiranjeevi.
Earlier
while
talking
about
the
elections,
Naga
Babu
said
that
he
had
decided
to
support
Naresh
as
MAA
needed
a
change
in
leadership.
"As
per
me,
the
MAA
President's
position
should
be
held
by
a
person
for
only
one
term.
Every
aspirant
should
get
an
opportunity.
I
have
decided
to
lend
my
support
to
Naresh
and
Rajasekhar.
Even
if
it's
me,
I
wouldn't
go
for
a
second
term," he
had
told
a
portal.
Last
year,
MAA
found
itself
in
the
midst
of
an
ugly
controversy
when
Sivaji
mishandled
the
Sri
Reddy
situation
and
received
flak
from
certain
sections
of
the
media.
It
remains
to
be
seen
if
the
new
panel
has
a
less
controversial
term
than
its
predecessor.
