Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Elections 2026: Results and Key Developments

Maharashtra's municipal corporation elections were held on January 15, 2026, with results declared on January 16 across 29 cities including Ulhasnagar, Sangli-Miraj, Amravati, Latur, Vasai-Virar, and others. These elections, delayed since 2022 due to legal disputes over OBC quotas, marked the return of elected representatives after state-appointed administrators governed for over three years. Key issues included water supply, roads, transportation, cleanliness, and urban development. The 2017 results showed varied party dominance, with BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress, and regional parties leading in different corporations. The 2026 polls were the first after splits in Shiv Sena and NCP, influencing political dynamics.
