Mumbai: Congress MLA from Mumbadevi assembly constituency, Amin Patel has clinched victory for the fourth consecutive term as the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the results for the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 on Saturday, November 23. Amin Patel defeated Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde faction candidate Shaina NC with a convincing margin.
The results were announced for the elections held on all the 288 assembly constituencies in single phase on November 20. Shaina NC resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined the Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena days ahead of the elections. Shaina NC's candidature was announced late and Shaina did not had enough time to work and woo the voters ahead of the elections. On the other hand, Amin Patel who has been elected as the MLA from Mumbadevi for three consecutive times since 2009, had a upper hand over Shaina NC as he was popular among the people in the constituency.
Amin Patel managed to clinch the seat with a margin of over 34,000 votes. Amin Patel got around 69,000 votes and Shaina NC managed to get around 34,000 votes. The contest was expected to be one-sided, however, Shaina NC performed unexpectedly well and managed to put up a close fight despite the odds being against her.
A very big thank you to all my well-wishers, supporters, colleagues and friends from the media who have helped us gain the biggest electoral victory of my political career!
