**Mumbai, India** – Aditya Thackeray, son of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, has secured victory in the Worli Assembly constituency, defeating Milind Deora of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. Thackeray, representing the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena (UBT), won by a margin of 8801 votes, receiving 63324 votes to Deora’s 54523.

While Thackeray’s win holds personal significance, the overall performance of the UBT in the Maharashtra Assembly elections has been dismal, securing only 21 seats compared to the Shinde faction’s 54. This significant victory for the Shinde faction casts a shadow over the political future of both Aditya Thackeray and his father.

Worli, a high-profile constituency located in one of Mumbai’s most affluent areas, is considered a Shiv Sena stronghold. Thackeray’s victory marks his second term as MLA for the seat, having first won in 2019. The substantial difference in seat numbers between the two Shiv Sena factions raises questions about the party’s future trajectory.
