In the 2026 BMC elections, Shiv Sena (UBT) win 65 seats, while Shinde-led Shiv Sena, secured 29 corporators. Escalating the political pressure on Shiv Sena (UBT), Amey Ghole, group leader of Shinde Sena in BMC, claimed that a significant number of corporators elected on the UBT ticket are exploring a switch to the Shinde camp.
