Koregaon’s diverse mix of urban and rural voters makes it a politically dynamic battleground in the 2024 Maharashtra elections.
Seventeen candidates are contesting the Koregaon seat, with prominent names including:
Out of 44 total applications, 21 were accepted, 12 were rejected, and 11 were withdrawn, leaving a competitive field of 17 candidates.
The broader political narrative in Koregaon reflects the tussle between the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, which includes the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction).
In 2019, Mahesh Shinde won the seat, establishing Shiv Sena’s (then unified) dominance in Koregaon. This time, his challenge comes not only from the NCP but also from smaller parties and independents.
As the vote counting progresses, Koregaon remains a closely watched constituency. Will Mahesh Shinde retain his stronghold, or can the NCP under Shashikant Shinde turn the tide?
