- The Shinde faction has proposed splitting the mayoral term 2.5–2.5 years with the BJP, with discussions ongoing and no agreement announced.
- Uddhav Thackeray’s camp has alleged counting irregularities and misconduct during the process, claims that remain contested without official action reported.
