Lok Bhavan formerly Raj Bhavan (translation: Government House) is the official residence of the governor of Andhra Pradesh Abdul Nazzer.[1] It is located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh Capital Region, Andhra Pradesh, India.

History

After the Telangana state formed in 2014, E. S. L. Narasimhan served as the joint governor for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana until 2019. Biswabhusan Harichandan was appointed as the 23rd governor of Andhra Pradesh in July 2019. A separate Raj Bhavan was needed for the residence of the governor. The Government of Andhra Pradesh converted the government irrigation house into the Raj Bhavan in 2019.[2]
