Following the commencement of the postal ballot count, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole was in the lead in Sakoli. The Mahayuti coalition is up against the MVA, which is trying to make a comeback, in the counting, which started at 8 am in all of the state's counting centers.
Abu Azmi and Nawab Malik, longtime rivals, are engaged in a fierce battle in Mumbai's Muslim-majority Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar Assembly constituency. As the representative of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, Azmi, a three-time MLA from the constituency, is hoping to serve a fourth term in a row on the Samajwadi Party ticket.
One of the most prominent seats in Maharashtra's 2024 Assembly election is the Sakoli Assembly constituency in the Bhandara district, which saw a fierce polling contest between state Congress president Nana Patole and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Avinash Brahmankar.
Varun Sardesai, the nephew of Uddhav Thackeray, will contest against Zeeshan Siddique in Mumbai's Bandra East Assembly constituency. Siddique just joined the NCP to fight the election with the Mahayuti, only days after his father, NCP leader Baba Siddique, was murdered. A former Shiv Sena MLA from the area, Trupti Sawant of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), is also contesting for the seat, making it a triangular contest.
The current deputy chief minister of Maharashtra and two-time previous chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, is eyeing a sixth term in his home constituency. There is increasing speculation that if the current Mahayuti alliance prevails, he would return to his position as chief minister. The 2024 Maharashtra Assembly election is seeing a rematch between Prafulla Gudhade Patil and the Fadnavis in Nagpur South West Assembly Seat.
In Maharashtra, the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat in Thane, a bastion of Eknath Shinde, is undergoing a fierce election contest in the 2024 Assembly election. The chief minister is up against Kedar Dighe, who was the nephew of the late Anand Dighe, who was his mentor.
In the assembly polls, the Worli election is expected to be one of the most watched races. For the Worli assembly constituency in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, incumbent Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray is up against MNS member Sandeep Deshpande and Shiv Sena and Rajya Sabha member Milind Deora. The Worli seat is in for an election that has the potential to reshape the state's political alliances and power dynamics, with seasoned politicians like Aaditya Thackeray and Milind Deora leading the show.
In Baramati, Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is contesting against members of his own family. Family members contesting against one another in Lok Sabha elections is a recurring occurrence. After a dismal performance in the Lok Sabha, Pawar is vying for a seventh term as an MLA and hopes to win despite political obstacles. He faces his nephew Yogendra Pawar in the election.
