Mumbai: Samajwadi Party Maharashtra Chief and three-times MLA from the Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar seat, Abu Asim Azmi has clinched the seat in close contest against AIMIM candidate Ateeque Ahmad Khan. Abu Asim Azmi was contesting for his fourth term from the Mankhurd seat, however, the anti-incumbency factor did not come into play and Azmi managed to win the seat with unexpectedly close margin of 12,753 votes.
Ateeque Ahmad Khan who contested the elections for the first time from the Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar seat on AIMIM ticket managed to give a tough fight to the stalwart in the constituency. However, a close contest was expected between NCP (AP) candidate Nawab Malik, who left his Anushakti Nagar seat for his daughter Sana Malik and contested against his once ally Abu Asim Azmi.
