In Maharashtra's upcoming civic elections for 29 municipal corporations, 69 candidates are set to be elected unopposed, with 68 from the ruling Mahayuti alliance and one from the Islam Party. Opposition parties allege intimidation and coercion led to these uncontested seats. The State Election Commission has ordered an investigation and halted the declaration of winners in these wards pending the probe. The elections are marked by complex alliances and former partners competing against each other.
