Party-wise seats

Known as Maharashtra’s only Assembly constituency with a majority of Sindhi voters, Ulhasnagar witnessed a highly complex political battle this time. In the current scenario, the Eknath Shinde-led faction of Shiv Sena joined hands with Omi Kalani and the Sai Party to contest the elections together. Meanwhile, Congress, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena faction and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) fought as a separate alliance.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on the other hand, has chosen to contest the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation elections independently, without forming any alliances.
