  • The race turned one-sided after Congress nominee Akash More withdrew, leaving 22 mostly independent or small-party candidates in the field.
  • Turnout was roughly 58 percent, with about 223,000 votes cast, according to published tallies.
  • Times Now reported that all 22 remaining opponents together drew 4,837 votes, underscoring the lack of a credible challenger.
  • In her remarks, Pawar called the result a tribute to Ajit Pawar, urged supporters to skip victory processions, and signaled continuity on development after a campaign coordinated locally by her son Parth with guidance from Sharad Pawar.
