**Pune, Maharashtra:** As Maharashtra awaits the final results of the state assembly elections, a close contest in the Vadgaon Sheri constituency is keeping voters on the edge of their seats. Current MLA Sunil Tingre (NCP-Ajit Pawar faction) is currently leading against Bapu Pathare (NCP-Sharad Pawar faction) by a margin of 16,795 votes, though counting is still underway.

The Vadgaon Sheri constituency has been a focal point of the election, marked by a series of events that intensified the race. These included accusations surrounding a Porsche car accident in Kalyan Nagar, a legal notice served to Sharad Pawar, and the withdrawal of BJP’s aspiring candidate, Jagdish Mulik, who initially received a nomination form but ultimately did not contest. Mulik’s decision, following discussions with senior BJP leaders, has added another layer of complexity to the race.

The opposition parties highlighted the Porsche accident and the legal notice to Sharad Pawar during the campaign, while Mulik also criticized Tingre over the accident. However, these factors appear to have had minimal impact on the final outcome.

Tingre previously won the seat in 2019, defeating BJP’s Jagdish Mulik by a margin of 4956 votes. The current lead suggests a possible repeat victory for Tingre, but the final results will determine whether the close contest will result in a change of guard in this crucial constituency. The close margin and the high-profile nature of the candidates make this a key race to watch as the results unfold.
