Maharashtra Election Result 2024 LIVE Updates: The Mahayuti alliance, which returned to power in Maharashtra and secured a massive win over the Maha Vikas Agadi, is yet to announce who will be the next Chief Minister of the state. The Mahayuti alliance comfortably crossed the magic number on November 23 with BJP, led by Fadnavis, winning over 131 seats, and the Shiv Sena and NCP winning 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
Notably, Deputy Chief Minister and BJP senior leader Devendra Fadnavis as well as the current Chief Minister from the Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde, are the frontrunners for the post, although no decisions have been announced yet.
Meanwhile, the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi’s attempt to reclaim power fell short, as the Opposition alliance managed to win just 46 seats.
As the Maharashtra assembly election results were declared, reports also suggested that the new Chief Minister would be sworn in as early as November 26.
