The BMC mayoral election is set for February 11. The BJP’s Ritu Tawde is expected to be elected unopposed as Mumbai's first BJP mayor in 44 years. Sanjay Ghadi (Shinde Sena) is the candidate for Deputy Mayor. This shift follows the Mahayuti alliance's majority win, ending 25 years of Shiv Sena (UBT) dominance in the BMC.
