Mumbai BMC Election Results 2026 Full Winners List: Check area-wise, ward-wise winners here

Mumbai’s civic verdict has reshaped the balance of power at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The BJP-led alliance is now firmly in control of BMC despite the absence of a single-party majority. The BJP emerged as the single-largest party with 89 seats in the 227-member house, while its ally, the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, added 29 more.

The numbers mean that the BJP is well placed to finally secure the mayoral post, even though it did not cross the halfway mark of 114 seats independently.

Marathi identity appeals fail to make a mark

On the opposition side, the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena alliance managed to put up sustained resistance. The Thackeray-led Sena ended the election with more than double the seats of the Shinde faction. However, appeals centred on Marathi identity and the “Marathi Manoos” failed to translate into a majority, even when combined with the MNS.

The Congress, allied with the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, slipped to fourth position, while AIMIM surprised with eight wins and signalled plans to strengthen its urban presence ahead of the 2029 Assembly elections. Both factions of the NCP together secured just four seats.

Row over ink used for Maharashtra civic polls

The Maharashtra State Election Commission said it would conduct a thorough probe into the quality of `indelible’ ink in marker pens used on Thursday after opposition leaders said it was easily removable. Social media was flooded with videos claiming to demonstrate how the voter mark could be erased with various chemicals.  Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raj Thackeray also amplified the allegations — claiming it could be wiped completely with hand sanitiser. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has dismissed the claims.

“People come out, wipe the ink, and go back inside to vote again. Then they come out, wipe it again and re-enter. Is this what the government calls development?” the MNS chief said.

“This is for the first time, I have never seen the ink vanishing this way. This is a marker… The ink of the election is different, and this marker is different, which can be wiped off… There is definitely some tampering…” added Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab.
