The results underscore the fragmented yet competitive nature of Mumbai’s municipal elections, with multiple parties vying for influence in the city’s 227 wards. As political dynamics evolve, parties are likely to focus on consolidating their positions and addressing local governance issues such as infrastructure, public health, and civic services.
In the Mumbai civic body, whose annual budget is over Rs 74,400 crore, elections were held after a four-year delay. These were the first BMC polls since the 2022 split in the Shiv Sena when Eknath Shinde, now Deputy Chief Minister, broke away with a majority of the party's MLAs and allied with the BJP to become the chief minister. The undivided Shiv Sena held sway over India's richest civic body for 25 years (1997-2022).
As per current trends, the BJP–Shiv Sena Mahayuti alliance is leading in 118 wards. The Shiv Sena (UBT)–MNS-NCP (SP) alliance is ahead on 65 seats. The Congress is leading in 11 wards.
