Worli is one of the 288 legislative assembly constituencies of Maharashtra. During the 2019 election, approx 269,003 voters registered from Worli and 29,074 voters cast their votes. In the last assembly elections, Shiv Sena candidate Aaditya Uddhav Thackeray won the seat against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate Adv. Dr. Suresh Mane.

While, in 2023, Ajit Pawar broke from the NCP to join Shinde’s alliance with the BJP.

In this assembly polls, the Mahayuti alliance nominated Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Aditya Uddhav Thackeray against ten other candidates.

The main contest in the Maharashtra Assembly election is between the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi. The Mahayuti alliance includes the BJP, NCP (led by Ajit Pawar), and Shiv Sena (under Eknath Shinde), while the Maha Vikas Aghadi is composed of Congress, NCP (led by Sharad Pawar), Shiv Sena-UBT, and the Samajwadi Party.

The voting for all 288 legislative assembly seats of Maharashtra was held on November 20 and the counting of votes is taking place today.
