Maharashtra local body election results 2025: Mahayuti wins 2 municipal councils

In Angar, Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Prajakta Ajinkyarana Patil was elected unopposed as president of the Nagar Panchayat, reflecting the alliance’s strong organisational hold in the region. Similarly, BJP candidate Sadhanatai Girish Mahajan was elected unopposed as president of the Jamner Municipal Council in Jalgaon district.

These unopposed victories indicate a consolidation of support for the Mahayuti in select pockets of the state and are being seen as an early indicator of the alliance’s performance in the ongoing local body election results.

The Dondaicha Varwade Municipal Council lies in the Dhule district and the Nashik division of Maharashtra, while Angar Nagar Panchayat falls in Solapur district of Pune division
