In the Nagpur Municipal Corporation elections for 151 total seats, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance fielded a strong lineup with BJP contesting 143 seats and Shiv Sena 8, while Congress has put forward 151 candidates to challenge across all wards. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is contesting 96 seats, Shiv Sena (UBT) has named 56 contenders, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is in the fray for 22 seats, and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction has announced 79 candidates, setting up a multi-cornered contest as parties vie for dominance in this key Maharashtra civic poll. 

After 302 withdrawals, including 290 on the final day and 12 earlier- Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) elections now feature 992 candidates contesting 151 seats across 38 wards, following an initial surge of 1,386 nominations for polls delayed nearly eight years since the 2017 body's dissolution in March 2022. Scrutiny validated 1,294 forms (535 by women), rejecting 80 (39 women’s), with no official BJP or Congress nominees disqualified, though zone-wise data reveals Lakadganj leading withdrawals at 43, followed by Mangalwari (37), Satranjipura (35), Dhantoli and Nehru Nagar (33 each), Gandhibagh-Mahal (30), Hanuman Nagar (28), Ashi Nagar (27), Dharampeth (24), and Laxmi Nagar (12), streamlining contests and reducing Independents to sharpen major-party clashes- Zone 9 boasts 180 contestants (92 women), Zone 1 the lowest at 75 (34 women).

The ruling Mahayuti alliance comprises the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Ajit Pawar). The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) includes the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar), and the Indian National Congress. However, the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has joined hands with the Shiv Sena (UBT) for the BMC polls, while the Congress has allied with the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA).
