The ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra has performed strongly in the district council elections, winning 552 out of 731 seats.

In the recent district council and panchayat committee elections in Maharashtra, the ruling Mahayuti alliance showcased a significant performance, securing 552 out of 731 seats across 12 district councils. According to the Maharashtra State Election Commission, this outcome reflects the Mahayuti's strengthening grip on the state's political landscape. The complete results are yet to be released by the election commission, which adds to the anticipation surrounding the official figures.

The elections held on February 7 saw the counting of votes on Monday, with a voter turnout of 68.28%.
