Few corporators from Mumbai will get the opportunity to contest in the upcoming state assembly election. So far parties have declared the name of six corporators, four of whom will be contesting in two constituencies. Geeta Gawli, Rais Shaikh and ex-corporator Yamini Jadhav are ready for the big fight in Byculla constituency. In Mankhurd Vitthal Lokare and Sufian Vanu are contesting against each other. The other declared names of corporators are that of Dilip Lande, who will contest from Chandivali for the Shiv Sena, and Sanjay Turde who will contest for the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) from Kalina.

In the last assembly election, a total of 19 corporators were in the race to grab positions in the Maharashtra state assembly, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) contested separately. This time, as the Shiv Sena and BJP have an alliance, the number of corporators in the election ring has gone down. The figure of corporators seeking a seat in the assembly may not cross double-digits. As of now, only six corporators have received the B form from their parties to contest.
