In 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, where the opposition Congress, the ruling BJP, and the competing Shiv Sena and NCP factions are vying for political domination, the ballots will be counted on Tuesday. For each of the state`s 48 Lok Sabha seats, the counting will start at 8 a.m. 14,507 employees will do the exercise at 289 counting rooms and 4,309 counting tables. According to a statement from the state Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), there was sufficient police presence at each of the counting centres.
Maharashtra is the western state that sends the most MPs to the Lok Sabha (48), after Uttar Pradesh (80 MPs), hence the performance there matters to both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The Shiv Sena, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the BJP, and the NCP, led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, make up the Mahayuti. The Shiv Sena (UBT), led by Uddhav Thackeray, the Congress, and the NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar are among the constituents of the MVA. Maharashtra held five stages of elections at 98,140 polling places between April 19 and May 20.
