The Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024 took place on Wednesday, November 20, with voters casting their ballots for all 288 seats. The contest saw a fierce battle between the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti coalition, striving to retain power, and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, aiming to unseat the current leadership.
Pollsters quickly released their exit poll predictions after voting concluded, showing that Mahayuti is leading with a projected 118 to 175 seats, while MVA is trailing with just 69. However, three surveys suggest the possibility of a hung house, indicating an uncertain outcome with no clear majority.
