MUMBAI: Five nominees of the ruling Mahayuti alliance are expected to be elected unopposed to the legislative council as no opposition party has fielded candidates for any of the seats.

The official announcement regarding the election of the five members is expected on March 20, the last day of withdrawal of nominations.

The five seats fell vacant after members from the ruling alliance — three from the BJP and one each from Shiv Sena and NCP — were elected to the legislative assembly in November 2024. Since the pending terms for the five MLCs were different, the new MLCs who get elected in their place on March 27 will also have different tenures.
