BMC Chunav 2026: Sharad Pawar, who has been the pivot of Maharashtra politics, seems to be facing a big setback in the Municipal Corporation elections. Counting is going on in 2100 wards, in which till now Sharad Pawar’s party is leading in only 34 wards. Whereas nephew Ajit Pawar’s party is leading in almost 4 times more wards than Sharad Pawar. Ajit Pawar is leading in 127 ward members. BJP is headed towards victory in the Municipal Corporation elections.
There is still some time left for the final results to come but Sharad Pawar’s party seems to be lagging behind, which is a very disappointing news for his party and him. There are many cities where even the account of NCP-SP has not been opened. If we talk about Mumbai Municipal Corporation, here NCP-SP is leading on only 1 seat.
Only 1 NCP candidate ahead in BMC elections
Sharad Pawar’s candidates have suffered a crushing defeat in 227 wards of BMC. Only 1 candidate is leading. Let us tell you, Sharad Pawar’s party did not open its account in cities like Pune, Nabi Mumbai, Ulhas Nagar, Basai-Viwar, Nanded, Jalna, Solapur, Nashik, Panvel, Kolhapur, Amravati, Chandrapur, Parbhani, Dhule, Ichalkaranji, Jalgaon and Kalyan.
However, the final result has not been revealed yet. Counting of votes is still going on. But the way the results have come so far. According to him, NCP-SP did not have any special performance.
Nephew left uncle behind
Ajit Pawar’s party has left uncle Sharad Pawar far behind in the municipal elections. Ajit Pawar’s party is leading almost 5 times. This time Congress and NCP SP are contesting the Municipal Corporation elections separately. Before the elections, two arch rival families of Maharashtra politics, the Thackeray family, also came together and contested the elections.
However, the Thackeray family is performing well in the municipal elections. At present, the majority figure is still far away but the Thackeray family has given a tough fight to the NDA. At the same time, NCP-SP has gone far away from majority, which seems almost impossible.
