In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from Pune, More garnered just 32,012 votes and lost his deposit.

Earlier he was the city unit president of MNS, but as MNS decided not to contest the election, he joined the VBA.

More said, “I was Shiv Sainik from the age of 18 years. I started my career with the party, and I am back home.”
