Malegaon Election Result 2024: Shive Sena’s Dadaji Bhuse and AIMIM’s Ismail Abdul Khalique lead in Outer and Central | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena’s Dadaji Bhuse is leading Maharashtra’s Malegaon outskirts and AIMIM’s Mohammed Ismail Abdul Khalique has won the Malegaon central elections.
Election Commission data shows that Dadaji Bhuse got 1,58,284 votes, ahead of Hiray and More who polled 39,843 and 1,236 votes respectively. While Khalique got 1,09,332 votes.
In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP-led NDA formed the government.However, the division within the Shiv Sena led to Uddhav Thackeray joining the NCP and Congress and thus Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, with Uddhav as chief minister.
In 2022, Eknath Shinde split from Thackeray’s faction, teamed up with the BJP and assumed the role of chief minister, causing the MVA government to collapse. In 2023, Ajit Pawar broke from the NCP and joined Shinde’s alliance with the BJP. Maharashtra politics now revolves around two major alliances: the MVA (Shiv Sena UBT, NCP SP, Congress) and the Maha Yuti (BJP, Shinde’s Sena, Ajit Pawar’s NCP).
The ruling Mahayuti alliance showed a strong performance, leading in 225 of the 288 seats in the assembly, according to early Election Commission counts. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi showed weaker results, leading only 46 seats.
Election Commission data shows that within Mahayuti, the BJP had 130 seats, while Shiv Sena and NCP had 59 and 36 seats respectively. In MVA, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) led with 12 seats, Congress with 15 and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) with 19 seats (till 5.10 pm).
