Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Elections: Historical and Political Context
These elections are particularly significant as they follow nearly three years of delay due to legal disputes over ward boundaries and reservations. For many cities, including Mumbai, this is the first election since the political realignments of 2022.
The contest is primarily a multi-cornered battle between the ruling Mahayuti alliance (BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP) and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) (Shiv Sena UBT, Sharad Pawar-led NCP, and Congress).
