In Mumbai, close to 1,700 candidates are contesting in 227 single-member wards, with the civic polls being held after a gap of four years. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is up against a joint challenge from Thackeray cousins Raj and Uddhav, making the election an important test of their influence following the 2022 Shiv Sena split. Unlike Mumbai’s single-member ward system, other municipal corporations in Maharashtra follow a multi-member ward format. Counting of votes is scheduled for Friday, January 16, with high political stakes attached to the outcome.
