Aaditya Thackeray is the incumbent MLA from the Worli constituency. In the 2019 Maharashtra assembly election, Aditya Thackeray polled over 69 per cent votes, defeating NCP's Suresh Mane.

Earlier this year, Milind Deora quit the Congress and joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led Mahayuti alliance has taken a huge lead and is heading towards a landslide victory.

Aditya Thackeray was the first person from the Thackeray clan to have contested the elections.

His grandfather Bal Thackeray, his father Uddhav Thackeray and his uncle Raj Thackeray never contested an assembly election.

Aditya Thackeray's cousin, Amit Thackeray, is also contesting the 2024 Maharashtra assembly election.

Milind Deora also comes from an illustrious political family. His father was Murli Deora, a Congress stalwart.

However, since 2014, Shiv Sena's Arvind Sawant has been winning the Lok Sabha polls from Mumbai South.

The Counting began at 8 am on Saturday for the 2024 Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections, along with the by-poll results in 15 states.

All eyes are on the outcome of the battle between the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti coalition and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, which is seeking to make a comeback.

There will be a minimum of 20 rounds of counting in each assembly segment.
