Cumbum was one of the 294 Legislative Assembly constituencies of Andhra Pradesh in India.[2] It was in Prakasam district and was dissolved before the 2009 elections. Most of its area is now part of the Giddalur Assembly constituency.

History of the constituency

The Cumbum constituency was first created for the Madras State Legislative Assembly in 1952.[3] It was dissolved in the 1955 elections due to the passing of the Delimitation Commission of 1952, which was created due to the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 1951.[4] Justice N Chandrasekhara Aiyar, a retired justice of the Supreme Court, was its chairman in 1953.[5] After the passing of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, it became a part of the new Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.[6][7] After the passing of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 1976, its extent was the Cumbum and Ardhaveedu firkas in Giddalur taluk; and Podili taluk (excluding Podili and Marripudi firkas) and Thimmareddipalli firka in Kanigiri taluk.[2]

The Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 abolished the constituency and hence was defunct as of the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[8]

Yerragondapalem Assembly constituency was newly formed as part of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 and active from the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[8] after dissolving the Cumbum Assembly Constituency
