Mumbai BMC Mayor Race Intensifies Post-Poll
The election for Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Mayor is a fierce contest, despite the BJP-Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) coalition holding a majority with 118 seats against the 114 required in the 227-seat body. The BJP emerged as the single largest party, but the combined opposition, including Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress, collectively holds 106 seats, making the race tight. Political parties are engaged in securing their corporators, with the Shinde faction housing its members in a hotel to prevent defections. The absence of an anti-defection law for municipal corporators and the influence of 10 nominated corporators further complicate the outcome, leading to intense political maneuvering as both sides express confidence.
