Maharashtra Lok Sabha Election Results Live:
The election results, following intense competition in critical constituencies, especially between factions of the divided Shiv Sena and NCP, will be determined as the Election Commission initiates the vote tally in a state that contributes the second-highest number of MPs to the Lok Sabha. This election will be crucial in the ongoing power struggle between the NDA and INDIA alliances in a politically tumultuous state.
In Maharashtra’s 48 Lok Sabha constituencies, 289 counting centers will draw significant attention as the Mahayuti alliance (comprising BJP, CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar-led NCP) faces off against the Maha Vikas Aghadi (comprising Sharad Pawar-led NCP, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), and Congress). Exit polls favor the Opposition, predicting 23 to 32 seats for the NDA and 16 to 25 for the INDIA coalition.
Among the 1,121 candidates, notable figures include Union ministers Nitin Gadkari (Nagpur), Piyush Goyal (Mumbai North), Narayan Rane (Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg), Raosaheb Danve (Jalna), Bharti Pawar (Dindori), and Kapil Patil (Bhiwandi). A particularly intriguing contest is in Baramati, where Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule (NCP-SP) competes against Sunetra Pawar, wife of Ajit Pawar, who orchestrated a split in the Nationalist Congress Party last year.
