Clearing suspense over whether party president Uddhav Thackeray would again contest the election to the Maharashtra legislative council, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday (April 29, 2026) said that Ambadas Danve, a former Leader of Opposition, will be its candidate.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), of which the Sena (UBT) is part, can win only one out of the nine council seats up for grabs. The announcement of Mr. Danve’s name by party MLA Aaditya Thackeray ruled out the possibility that Uddhav Thackeray would be the opposition’s candidate.
