Mumbai BMC Election Results 2026 | What do BMC Election Results Mean? | Thackeray vs Mahayuti

The counting of votes for elections to 29 municipal corporations across Maharashtra is underway, with all eyes on Mumbai, where the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is engaged in a high-profile contest against the reunited Thackeray cousins for control of Asia’s richest civic body.
Polling for 2,869 seats across 893 wards in the municipal corporations, including 227 seats in Mumbai, was held on Thursday. A total of 15,931 candidates contested the elections, which saw participation from an electorate of 3.48 crore eligible voters across the state.
Polling across 29 municipal corporations in the state recorded an overall voter turnout of around 50 per cent. In Mumbai, turnout in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls stood at 52.94 per cent, lower than the 55.53 per cent recorded in the 2017 elections.
The BMC, India’s richest civic body with an annual budget exceeding Rs 74,400 crore, is witnessing a contest among nearly 1,700 candidates for its 227 seats after a four-year delay. These are the first BMC elections since the 2022 split in the Shiv Sena, when Eknath Shinde broke away and allied with the BJP. The undivided Shiv Sena had controlled the civic body for 25 years.
