Mumbai BMC election results 2026: Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena's 30-year control collapses

Early trends indicate the Mahayuti alliance, led by BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, is poised to end the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s 30-year dominance in the BMC. The alliance is leading in over 110 wards, with BJP showing significant strength. Similar trends are observed in Pune, where BJP is displacing the Pawars.
