A total of 1,136,170 voters will participate in these elections, which will determine representatives for the city’s 28 wards.

The Shivsena followed, winning 38 seats, while the Indian National Congress garnered 10 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 6 seats, and Independents took 5.
In broader state political dynamics, the BJP recently solidified its status in Maharashtra by becoming the leading party in 129 out of 288 local bodies during the initial two phases of recent elections. The ruling Mahayuti coalition exceeded 200 seats overall, with the Shivsena winning 51 local bodies and the Nationalist Congress Party claiming 33.
Conversely, the Opposition alliance known as the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) struggled to make significant gains, just managing to cross the 50-seat threshold. The Congress party won 35 seats, while both factions of the Shivsena and NCP, led by Sharad Pawar, ended with 8 seats each.
