Overview
- AIMIM has 95 corporators across 13 municipal bodies in Maharashtra, according to the latest IANS tally.
- In Mumbai, the party captured four BMC wards, meeting the threshold to name a group leader and receive an office at BMC headquarters.
- The BMC winners were Mehjabin Atiq Ahmed in Ward 134 (margin 2,216), Jameer Kureshi in Ward 136 (9,957), Patel Shameer in Ward 137 (4,370), and Khairunisa Akbar Hussain in Ward 145 (2,095).
- Reports note first-time breakthroughs in Ahilyanagar and Chandrapur, including three seats in Ahilyanagar and an inaugural win in Chandrapur.
