Maharashtra Assembly election 2024: Full list of Congress candidates and constituencies

Congress candidate list: Ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly election 2024, the Congress released its first list of 48 candidates on Thursday evening. The Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on November 20. The counting of votes will take place on November 23.

In the first list, Congress’ state chief Nana Patole has been fielded from Sakoli, Legislature Party leader Balasaheb Thorat from Sangamner, Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar from Bramhapuri, former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan from Karad South and CWC Member and Regional Working President Naseem Khan from Chandivali.

The list came a day after the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) announced an 85-85-85 seat share formula for the state. Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena and Congress, all part of the MVA, will be contesting on 85 seats each. Addressing a press conference, Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Sanjay Raut said a consensus has been reached on 270 of the 288 seats. The parties have said they would offer the rest to smaller partners and if there’s any seat left, would divide it up between themselves.

Congress had been demanding 125 of the state’s 288 assembly seats, while Shiv Sena had its counter-offer of 100 seats. The Sena also wanted 100 seats and had suggested that 88 seats be left for Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar). But with time running out, Sharad Pawar intervened and after multiple sessions of discussions with both partners, devised the 85-85-85 formula.

In its list, Congress has retained 25 sitting MLAs, which comprised all the confirmed, undisputed seats.
