In Maharashtra's municipal corporation elections, 68 candidates from ruling Mahayuti alliance parties and one from the Islam Party are set to win unopposed. The BJP leads with 44 unopposed candidates, followed by Shiv Sena with 22 and NCP with two. Opposition parties allege intimidation and inducements led to rival candidates withdrawing nominations. The State Election Commission is investigating these claims before declaring winners, as the elections feature fractured contests with allies competing against each other.
