**Mumbai, [Date]** – The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) suffered a significant defeat in the Mahim Assembly constituency election, with its candidate Amit Thackeray losing to Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Mahesh Sawant. Sawant secured a decisive victory, garnering 50,213 votes compared to Thackeray’s 33,062.
This marks a considerable loss for the MNS, which had previously performed better in the constituency. In the 2019 elections, the Shiv Sena’s Sada Sarvankar won with 61,337 votes, while the MNS candidate received 42,690 votes. The 2014 election also saw a Shiv Sena victory.
The Mahim constituency, with over 2.5 million voters, is a key seat in the Mumbai district. The outcome is seen as a major blow to the MNS’s electoral prospects in the state. Further analysis will be needed to determine the factors contributing to this significant shift in voter preference.
