Veteran Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik is trailing by 32,967 votes in the Mankhurd-Shivajinagar constituency, as per the latest Election Commission trends.

His daughter Sana is leading in Anushakti Nagar, a seat her father represented twice in 2019 and 2009. According to the latest EC trends, NCP(SP) candidate Fahad Ahmed is trailing by a wafer thin margin in the constituency.

Nawab Malik contested from Mankhurd-Shivajinagar seat against Samajwadi Party's Abu Azmi, who has been an MLA since 2009. The fight in this seat is that of the Muslim vote.

“Today, I filed a nomination from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar Vidhan Sabha constituency as an NCP candidate. I had filed the form as an Independent candidate also. But the party has sent the AB form and we submitted it at 2.55 pm and now I am the official candidate of NCP,” the 65-year-old leader.

Malik's candidature from the NCP was opposed by Mahayuti allies BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. He was arrested in 2022 on charges of having links with Dawood Ibrahim's associates, but no court has proven these allegations yet.

He was granted interim bail in 2023, which was extended by the Supreme Court in January.

Malik was charged for offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as the ED claimed that in 2005, he conspired with the sister of gangster Dawood Ibrahim to usurp a property in Kurla using a fabricated power of attorney.
