**Mumbai, [Date]** – The Maharashtra Assembly election results for 2024 are in, revealing a close contest between the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and the Maha Yuti alliances. While the final tallies are still being compiled, early trends indicate a neck-and-neck race. The smaller parties, MNS and Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi, have yet to secure any seats.

Initial results show a tight competition between the two major alliances, with Eknath Shinde’s faction performing strongly. Congress, however, appears to be lagging behind. The BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction, and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) formed the Maha Yuti alliance, while the MVA comprised Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, Sharad Pawar’s NCP, and the Congress. Raj Thackeray’s MNS and Prakash Ambedkar’s Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi also contested the elections.

The crucial 145-seat majority mark remains in contention, with the final outcome still uncertain. The results will determine who will govern the state for the next five years and who will be the next Chief Minister. The election saw a high-stakes battle following the dramatic political upheaval of the past two and a half years, including significant defections within the Shiv Sena and NCP. The state witnessed unprecedented political turmoil, culminating in the formation of a new government under Eknath Shinde with the BJP’s support.

Key wins reported include:

* **Sewri:** Ajay Chaudhari (Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena) secured victory.
* **Worli:** Aditya Thackeray (Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena) won decisively.
* **Mahim:** Mahesh Sawant (Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena) emerged victorious, defeating Amit Thackeray (MNS).
* **Alibag Murud:** Mahendra Dalvi is declared victorious.

ABP Majha is providing live updates on the election results across various platforms, including television and online. The state eagerly awaits the final results and the announcement of the next Chief Minister, expected on the 25th, a day before the current Assembly term expires.
