Shiv Sena (UBT) Optimistic Of Retaining Mayor’s Post Despite Setbacks

Raga News Zone | Mumbai

Supporters of Shiv Sena (UBT) remain hopeful that their party could secure the Mayor’s post in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) despite recent political setbacks and a shifting power balance. Party loyalists point to alliances, procedural factors, and internal differences among rivals as reasons for optimism.

According to insiders, while Shiv Sena (UBT) may not have a clear majority on its own, backing from traditional allies and sympathetic independents could prove crucial during the mayoral election, which is decided by corporators rather than direct public vote. This creates opportunities for strategic negotiations and alliance-building.

Supporters also highlighted the party’s long-standing presence and influence in Mumbai’s civic governance. Their experience in managing the BMC and strong grassroots network are seen as significant advantages in the contest for the mayoral chair.

Another factor contributing to optimism is the lack of cohesion among opposition parties, which could give Shiv Sena (UBT) an edge if rival camps fail to unite effectively. Party leaders believe that even a narrow victory margin could secure the key position.

As the mayoral election approaches, the outcome will depend on the numbers and negotiations among corporators. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters are confident that their party still has a strong chance of retaining one of Mumbai’s most influential civic posts.
