Analysed 28 Oct 2026·19 sources analysed·Nagpur, India·Politics
Maharashtra Legislative Council Elections: Mahayuti Wins Three Seats, MVA Secures TwoPreviousNext

The Maharashtra Legislative Council elections saw the ruling Mahayuti alliance winning three of five seats, including BJP victories in Pune and Nagpur Teachers' constituencies and Shiv Sena's win in Amravati Teachers'. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), led by Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP), secured two seats in the Pune and Aurangabad Graduates' constituencies. Congress candidates faced setbacks, with losses in key seats despite campaigning efforts. Counting used a single transferable vote system, with results reflecting complex alliance dynamics and some internal rebellions within parties.
