The Maharashtra Municipal Corporation elections 2026 concluded with voting across 2,869 seats in 893 wards on Thursday, followed by counting on Friday. Polls were held for 29 civic bodies, including Mumbai’s Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli, Mira-Bhayandar, and several other cities, amid high-voltage campaigns by major parties such as the BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP, MNS, and Congress.
The elections, held after a gap of nearly nine years, were closely watched across the country. In the previous 2017 polls, the undivided Shiv Sena emerged as the single-largest party, while the BJP made significant gains in the BMC, India’s richest municipal corporation. No party had secured an absolute majority then, and the BJP had later extended support to the Shiv Sena for the mayoral post.
In 2026, early trends showed the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance taking a clear lead. With counting now complete, the full ward-wise winners list highlights the distribution of corporator seats across Maharashtra’s major urban centres.
