Worli Assembly Elections 2024: Sena vs Sena showdown as Aaditya Thackeray faces Milind Deora

Maharashtra is set to vote in a single phase on November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies scheduled to take place on November 23.

The 2024 Assembly Elections in the Worli Assembly Constituency are considered a game-changer, as this time, the fight for the constituency is between the two divided factions of Shiv Sena: one led by Uddhav Thackeray and the other by Eknath Shinde. In the past, these factions ran as a united unit and consistently maintained a winning streak in the constituency. However, the 2024 assembly polls will be starkly different, with the two factions now set to assert their dominance from the seat by fielding their respective candidates. While Shiv Sena (UBT) has named the current MLA, Aditya Thackeray, as its candidate, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) has nominated Milind Deora.
