The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, comprising the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP(S), has finalized its seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024, following a 22-16-10 formula. The agreement allocates 21 seats to the Shiv Sena (UBT), led by Uddhav Thackeray, who had the last laugh, 17 seats to the Congress, and 10 seats to the NCP(S). This deal comes after two months of discussions and negotiations, showcasing the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s ability to retain the contentious Sangli seat, while the Congress has taken Bhiwandi. The resolution of the seat-sharing dispute signifies a strategic positioning for the MVA against the opposition in Maharashtra, with the Congress conceding three seats in the process. This development has led to internal discussions within the Mumbai Congress, particularly concerning the decision to allocate the Mumbai South Central seat to the Sena UBT.
