The 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance securing a resounding victory, with more than 220 seats out of the total 288-member assembly. This monumental win is a testament to the power of the BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), who collectively triumphed over the opposition in a clear landslide victory.
The opposition, comprising the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance — led by Congress, along with Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP (Sharad Pawar) faction — struggled to gain significant traction, securing just 46 seats. Despite the overall margin, the election witnessed some incredibly narrow wins, highlighting how every vote counted in this highly competitive race.
While several candidates achieved overwhelming victories with massive margins — some by over 1.45 lakh votes — there were also those whose wins came down to the wire, clinching their seats by the smallest of margins. Let’s take a closer look at the top 10 candidates who emerged victorious with the lowest vote margins:
These candidates’ victories were testament to how even the smallest margins can determine the outcome in a hotly contested election. The 2024 Maharashtra elections have indeed left their mark with some shocking victories, while the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance’s dominance remained undeniable with a substantial majority.
As the final results are being tallied, the BJP continues to lead with 128 seats, followed by Shiv Sena with 56 and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) with 40. Congress has secured 14 seats so far, while Shiv Sena (UBT) has won 20. With further updates expected, the political landscape in Maharashtra has been forever altered by this stunning outcome.
