Aaditya Thackeray, the sitting MLA from Shiv Sena (UBT), has emerged victorious from the Worli Assembly Polls in the Maharashtra elections 2024.

In a Sena vs Sena contest in Mumbai's Worli assembly seat, Uddhav Thackeray's Aaditya Thackeray defeated Milind Deora of the Shinde faction, securing the seat for the Thackeray-led Sena.

Aaditya is eyeing a second consecutive term, having first won the Worli seat in 2019 by a margin of 67,427 votes. However, this time, he faced a strong challenge from Milind Deora.

Deora was chosen to contest from high-profile seat because Shinde did not want Thackeray to have a cakewalk, it is learnt. Thackeray's margin has come down drastically from 2019.
