Maharashtra polls: Independents soar, could hurt both alliances

Hindustan Times  

A record 2,087 out of the total 4,136 candidates contesting from 288 constituencies across Maharashtra in the 2024 assembly elections are independents. Maharashtra has had a history of independents since its first assembly elections in 1962 when 437 candidates contested and 15 independents secured seats in the 264-member assembly. In the 2009 assembly elections, as the Congress-NCP alliance faced anti-incumbency, 1,820 independents contested out of which 24 secured victories. This year, election battles in each and every constituency are fierce so definitely, small parties and independents will assume significance if they get good numbers.” Another political analyst, Mahesh Sane, said that nearly 50% of candidates contesting elections are independent.
