Maharashtra held single-phase assembly elections for all 288 seats on Wednesday, November 20, with intense focus on the results. The elections saw a fierce contest between the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti coalition, striving to retain power, and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, which aimed to challenge the incumbent leadership.
Exit poll results were released following the vote, with an analysis of nine surveys suggesting Mahayuti is leading with an estimated 118 to 175 seats, while MVA is projected to secure only 69 seats. However, three of the surveys predict a ‘hung house’ with no clear majority. While Mahayuti appears to have the edge, the final outcome remains uncertain, making the political landscape in Maharashtra unpredictable.
