The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance has secured a significant victory in the Maharashtra civic elections, with vote counting actively underway for 29 municipal corporations across the state, including the crucial Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis lauded the results as a 'momentous victory' for the BJP and its allies, attributing the success to the public's unwavering faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development-oriented politics. Elections were held on January 15, 2026, and counting began on January 16, 2026. Early trends indicate the Mahayuti alliance comfortably crossing the majority mark in the BMC, an important urban body in Mumbai, and leading significantly across other municipal corporations. The BJP alone has emerged as the single-largest party in 19 out of 29 municipal corporations. In Mumbai, the BJP-led alliance has shown strong leads, with some reports indicating they have surpassed the 114-seat majority mark required in the 227-ward BMC. Beyond Mumbai, the BJP has also demonstrated robust performance in traditional strongholds of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) like Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, and is leading decisively in Nagpur, the Chief Minister's home city. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who assumed his third term on December 5, 2024, has been actively congratulating party workers and leaders on this electoral success. This victory is seen as a reinforcement of the BJP's political dominance in Maharashtra and underscores the ruling alliance's appeal to voters across urban centers. The results are expected to have considerable implications for the state's political landscape and future governance.
