Maharashtra Legislative Council Elections Proceed with Mahayuti Leading Uncontested and Contested Seats
Maharashtra's Legislative Council elections are underway, with voting scheduled for 11 seats on June 19 following six uncontested wins by the ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP. In Nashik, voting for the Local Authorities Constituency seat occurs after a two-year delay, with Shiv Sena's Narendra Darade favored amid alliance unity and opposition divisions. The Mahayuti alliance is taking measures to prevent vote splitting and cross-voting, while opposition parties face defections and internal challenges.
