Maharashtra exit polls predict Mahayuti's return in massive blow to MVA Maharashtra’s 288 assembly seats require 145 seats for a majority.

Exit polls for the Maharashtra Assembly elections have largely predicted a victory for the ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP. Out of the four major exit polls, three anticipate a clear return for the alliance, while one forecasts a close contest with the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes the Congress, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar’s NCP faction.

People’s Pulse has predicted a stronger performance for the Mahayuti, predicting 175–195 seats, leaving the MVA with 85–112 seats.  

Chanakya Strategies have given a clear majority for the Mahayuti with 152–160 seats, while the MVA is projected to win 130–138 seats. Meanwhile, P-Marq indicated a tighter contest, estimating 137–157 seats for the Mahayuti with a 42% vote share and 126–146 seats for the MVA with a 41% share. Other parties are expected to secure 2–8 seats with a projected 17% vote share.  

The projections have favored the Mahayuti, but past elections have shown that exit polls can often be inaccurate, and the final results may vary.
