Maharashtra Election Results 2024 Live Updates

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde thanked voters for a strong victory. He described the results as a “landslide” and recognized support from various groups, including farmers and senior citizens. Current projections indicate that the Mahayuti coalition is leading in 225 seats, while the MVA trails with 53 seats. The outcome of these elections will determine if Shinde’s coalition continues to govern or if the MVA can make a comeback.

Key Battlegrounds

Key contests include Worli, where candidates Milind Deora (Shiv Sena), Aaditya Thackeray (Shiv Sena UBT), and Sandeep Deshpande (MNS) compete. In Baramati, Ajit Pawar faces his grandnephew, Yugendra Pawar. Vandre East features Zeeshan Siddique against Varun Sardesai. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeks a fourth term in Nagpur South West against Congress’s Praful Gudadhe. Chief Minister Shinde faces competition in Kopri-Pachpakhadi. These key constituencies will shape Maharashtra’s political future.

Predictions from Pollsters

Polls suggest a closely contested election with no clear winner. The Mahayuti could secure between 118 and 175 seats, while the MVA may gain 69 to 122 seats. Some surveys suggest a hung assembly, allowing for potential alliances after the election. As counting continues, Maharashtra awaits confirmation of these predictions or an unexpected election outcome.
