Pune PMC, Nagpur Civic Polls Election Results 2026 LIVE: The BJP is leading in both the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Pimpri–Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). Vote counting for the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections started at 10 am, with final results expected to be declared by the evening. The outcome is keenly awaited as it will test the combined strength of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the NCP (SP).
The contest in Pune and the adjoining Pimpri-Chinchwad region is being closely watched, as the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) have come together for the first time since their split in 2023. Ajit Pawar’s NCP has joined hands with his uncle Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP) to take on the ruling BJP in the municipal corporation elections.
Besides Pune, polling was held on Thursday (January 15) in several key urban centres across Maharashtra, including Mumbai, Nagpur, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Nashik, and Pimpri-Chinchwad.

As early trends emerge, the BJP is leading in 80 seats in Pune and has taken a bigger lead in 77 seats in Pimpri-Chinchwad. Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar’s NCP is ahead in 37 seats in Pimpri-Chinchwad and five seats in Pune. In Pimpri Chinchwad, the BJP is leading in 77 seats, while the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP is ahead in 37 seats only, TV reports showed. Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena is currently leading in 10 seats. MNS and Sharad Pawar’s NCP are leading in one seat each.
The contest is primarily between the BJP, which has fielded candidates in all 165 seats, and the alliance comprising the Ajit Pawar-led NCP and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP). The BJP had governed the civic body on its own during the 2017–2022 term.
However, following delays in civic elections after the Supreme Court put the polls on hold over the reservation issue, the municipal corporation came under the control of an Administrator. Prior to the BJP’s rule, the then-united NCP had served as the main opposition in PMC, after its decade-long hold on power from 2007 to 2017 ended.
