Mumbai, March 24: BJP candidate Manoj Kishorbhai Kotak won Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North-East parliamentary seat in Maharashtra. Polling for Lok Sabha election in Mumbai North-East parliamentary seat in Maharashtra was held on April 29 in the fourth phase of general elections. The constituency assumes significance as it has become a reason for a rift between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally Shiv Sena.

In 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Kirit Somaya of the BJP defeated the 2009 winner Sanjay Dina Patil of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). While the NCP renominated Patil, the BJP fielded Manoj Kishorbhai Kotak after Shiv Sena's objection to Somaya's candidature. Maharashtra Lok Sabha Elections 2019 Dates: Constituency-Wise Complete Schedule Of Voting And Results For General Elections.
